38 weeks and 5 days since I saw your beautiful face, held your delicate body, tried my hardest to memorize every inch of you in the short time we had. The most beautiful baby I had ever seen- perfect in every way. You filled me with so much pride. I couldn’t believe I had made such a beautiful baby. I was so proud of my body for bringing you into the world. It was the day I had waited for, for 38 weeks and 5 days. I had worried about it so much. I had worried about whether I’d be able to endure the pain. I didn’t know the true pain was that you would be born still and silent. I was worried I wouldn’t be a good enough mother to you. I never thought that my motherhood would take such a different turn. I couldn’t have imagined that raising you would become a matter of raising awareness for what happened to you and speaking your name as much as possible so that you are never forgotten. 38 weeks and 5 days you and I were one body and now 38 weeks and 5 days without you I feel there is a piece of me that is missing- an emptiness that will never be filled. But we are forever one heart. My heart holds you when my arms cannot. With every beat, it speaks your name and tells you how much I love you. How strange the passage of time can be - it feels like you were with me for all my life and yet that I have been without you for for a lifetime. 38 weeks and 5 days.

Today a friend of mine asked me some difficult questions about Lily. I always want people to feel free to ask me about her/to talk about her, especially when it comes from a place of genuine care. So for the record, know that I LOVE opening up and sharing about all things Lily related. Anyways, my friend asked me if I birthed Lily. I thought I’d address her question because I think there’s a lot of misconceptions about what exactly stillbirth is. It is not the same as miscarriage (I’m not saying miscarriage doesn’t matter, it’s just different). When a baby is stillborn, he/she passes, but they don’t disappear or exit the mother’s body unseen. Lily was birthed just as any other living child. And she was loved just as much too. I explained to my friend that Lily was born 2 days past her due date and was a healthy 7 pounds 9 ounces and 21 inches... just without breath for no known reason. I labored and birthed her. She had adorable eyelashes, eyebrows, and fingernails. She looked just like me! I cuddled her and cherished her for those few sacred hours. I have the heart and body of a mother... it’s just my child was made for a different land. She also asked if I think it would be harder to have been deprived knowing Lily outside the womb or to have gotten that time and then lost her... and to that I can only answer from my own experience. I don’t think grief/loss can be compared and I don’t think there are any winners. At the end of the day, when you lose a child, they are gone. The amount of time with them doesn’t alter a mother’s love. You don’t love your child more at 15 than you did at 10. There are factors of loss that are dependent upon the age of a child when they are lost. I wish with everything in me I had been able to gaze into Lily’s eyes and could have made some memories. We all have different stories and what is perceived as “worse” or “better” will always be pointless. Our stories are what they are. Though I cannot speak for anyone else, I know that my love for Lily will never lessen or be less than my love for any other potential child. There’s enough room in a mother’s heart to expand and grow for as many children that occupy it.

oh the wishes the wishes are so messed up I thought if I wished hard enough it would turn out to be a bad dream But the wishes just reminded me of my grief my loss my broken heart I wished for her kicks heartburn hiccups and my big belly Anything ! I still after almost two years Touch my belly and remember I still wish but my wishes are now I miss ... it’s an interesting process ... grief. I miss your kicks I miss your hiccups I miss you !

As far as I can see , grieve will never truly end. It may become softer over time , more gentle , and some days it will feel sharp . But grieve will last as long as love does , forever . There is no single day that I haven’t thought about you or night that I haven’t dreamt about you and there is no single moment ever gonna come in my life when I stop loving you . You’re so wonderful to think of but so hard to be without . Forever in my heart with love , Koa ✨ #stillbornstillloved #bornsleepingat41weeks

February 3: 7 years ago, In my mind pregnancy equaled a “take home” baby. It never entered my mind that I would not be able to take him home and instead leave the hospital with empty arms. Did your pregnancy end with empty arms? Drop a heart below in honor of each of your angels ❤️ . . . #projectrobby #pregnancyandinfantloss #pregnancyandinfantlossawareness #pregnancyloss #pregnancylossawareness #infantloss #infantlossawareness #babyloss #babylossawareness #stillborn #stillbornstillloved #iam1in4 #bereavedmother #theelitesuite #wichitaks #missedmiscarriage #eptopicpregnancy #miscarriage #miscarriageawareness #angelmom #grief #pregnancylosssupport

People will disappoint you. A statement my mom made when in a discussion about our loss, and those we felt failed to rise up. Those that couldn’t handle the sadness. Those who didn’t know what to say- and chose to say nothing Those who couldn’t deal with the grief. Those who disappeared. Tragedy brings out the best and worst in people. You truly see who will weather the storm alongside you, and those who will drift out of site. Through the realization of having to let some relationships go, you also see so clearly the pure beauty of others. That beauty is what radiates and gives hope in such a dark time. That beauty is what I will remember until my last breath. That beauty is my saving grace. And that beauty, is what I choose to acknowledge and see. So if you can, choose to let go of those who don’t deserve your time and energy, and focus on those that do. There are some beautiful people in this world.
