To My Fellow Loss Mamas–I Love You No Matter What

Dear Courageous Mama,

I want you to know that I love you. No matter when or how your baby died, you deserve nothing but love and support. And that, beautiful mama, is what I have for you.

I love you in your moments of celebration.  I love you in your moments of grief.

I love you when you see two lines.  I love you when you when the lines aren’t there.

I love you when your brow is furrowed with worry.  I love you when your smile comes easy.

I love you if you in your moments of hope.  I love you when the fear takes hold.

I love you when you want to show off your bump.  I love you when you would rather hide from the world.

I love you when you feel uncertain. I love you when you must make the most impossible of decisions.

I love you for wishing time would move quickly.  I love you for wanting to linger in the moments where everything feels right.

I love you for deciding that this baby is your last.  I love you if that’s not a decision you ever get to make.

I love you when you are afraid of more heartbreak.  I love you when you try again.

I love you if you have a baby in your arms.  I love you if you have a baby in your heart.

I love you when you are chasing rainbows.  I love you when you are caught in the most breathtaking storm.

But, most of all, I love you for being courageous.

No matter where your journey to motherhood takes you, I am here to love you and support you.

I can think of no one more deserving.

Love,

A Fellow Courageous Mama
