"Shiloh" - Poetry 4/7/23

Such strength is far beyond my own. Instead you went to one above who sits almighty on his throne. So there you wait in perfect joy with Father. Better far than I. And though you cannot come to me one day I'll meet you in the sky

Hey. Thank you so much for sharing this. I can feel the emotion in your words and in your voice was just so, so tender

And though it was a very difficult time, we had peace in the middle of it. And in some ways I don't know if I've ever fully come to grips with the situation. It really got me last year and the year before on Pregnancy Loss Awareness Day because I was seeing all the images of things that people have kept from their lost pregnancies shoes and ultrasounds and things like that. We didn't even get to that point. So I have no mementos at all

This is a really heartbreaking piece. A lot of times with a pregnancy loss, people, they don't understand how much grief is involved in that. And I could feel that grief here in this piece. And it was a lovely tribute to your lost child. Thank you for sharing that

I miss my child, and I wanted to pay tribute and remember, so I wanted to make this anyway. I think that's more important than trying to look like something I'm not. Thank you

I'm trying not to cry. I'm so appreciative of that poem for your vulnerability and sharing that and being able to share that, because I could understand how hard that is and also that it is something that I personally have experienced, and I do. Sharing this is actually very helpful. It's a really hard thing to really grasp the concept of when it hasn't happened to you and you don't have the same emotions, you can never really know

The thing is, the part that broke me shouldn't have at all. It was hopeful, is the fact that I have faith that, no, I didn't get to meet my child, but I will. And that though my arms never got to hold them much better, arms were waiting. And yeah, I'm trying to fight it back a little bit right now. That's what broke me. Trying to write it and then just trying to get it all out together was hard
