We grieve deeply because we love deeply.Just came across this amazing blog from Jamie Anderson with these incredible words: allmylooseends.com/2014/03/lights-wink/
"... I began to think that maybe I wasn’t weak–maybe, just maybe, what I’d gone through was just that intense.
If that’s you, still reeling from the miscarriage of your child, and the whole world is telling you to move on, please remember that the world has no right to ask that of you. What you have been through is real, and it is big. Please get the mental health care you need, and understand that you are not weak — you are hurting because you’ve been through a pain that many people can’t even imagine."
