She is made of all seven who came before her 🤍
The cells from the beginnings of life that faded too soon remain in a mother’s blood, following baby loss. It’s called microchimerism.
•
Evie now carries a tiny piece of each them. And that is a beautiful thought 🩷
•
I am writing this at the end of Baby loss Awareness week, in which I’ve been thinking about the heartbreak that led us here.
•
The second photo taken, having cried tears to the lyrics of Shania Twain on the radio - ‘looks like we made it’. In utter amazement that we have, sadness for our losses, and knowing far too well it’s not the same for so many.
•
In the first pic, I’ve lit 7 candles for tonight’s wave of light, to remember our little flickers of light that came first.
•
Evie may be our new chapter, but they are our story that led us to her, and will never be further than a thought away.
•
So much love to you all - who have experienced any form of baby loss, who have supported and carried those you love through it, those still trying, those moving forward in your way, all remembering the ones we didn’t meet.
