Before I felt your tiny kicks,

Before I heard your faint heartbeat,

I was lost in a world of my own.

But then you came along,

And everything changed.

I was filled with a joy I never knew,

A love so strong it could break my heart.

I dreamed of the future we would have,

All the things we would do together.

I imagined your smile,

And the sound of your laughter.

But then fate had other plans,

And my world came crashing down.

I lost you before I could even meet you,

And my heart was shattered into a million pieces.

I am still grieving your loss,

But I know that one day I will be okay.

I will carry you with me always,

In my heart.

During

I am bleeding,

And I am in pain,

But I am also relieved.

Finally, this is over.

I have been carrying this secret for weeks,

Afraid to tell anyone,

Afraid of what they would say.

But now it is out in the open,

And I can finally breathe.

I am not sure what the future holds,

But I know that I will get through this.

I have to.

For you.

After

I am still healing,

But I am stronger than I was before.

I have learned to live with the pain,

And I have found a new purpose in life.

I am now a voice for the voiceless,

A beacon of hope for those who have also suffered pregnancy loss.

I will never forget you,

My little one.

You will always be in my heart.
