Glad you finally finished your blanket. <br />When I was younger I had a teacher who'd had three mischarages before finally having a daughter. The following year as she stayed home with her little girl, all her former students sent her Mother's day cards. We knew it didn't make her past pain go away, but we felt it showed how much we cared about her and her struggle.Toi Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07493934864387695248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816015196790632629.post-69505049470802564092019-12-17T10:20:45.594-07:002019-12-17T10:20:45.594-07:00It's really tough for me to comment on this.

Thank you for sharing such a personal and poignant part of your life here. <br /><br />Miscarriage is rarely talked about but it is devastating and the grieving process just as intense and painful as any other loss. That needs to be acknowledged if there is to be closure. Thank you also for contributing to that conversation.Nilanjana Bosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08656370320322301943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816015196790632629.post-46866898630039443362019-12-13T21:19:18.386-07:002019-12-13T21:19:18.386-07:00Haunting, and yet beautifully told.
