As I sit back and think about the past year, much of what comes to mind is heartbreak, a lot of crying and confusion. On November 6th of last year, I had a miscarriage. I was almost through my first trimester, had finally convinced Dillon to decorate a nursery with yellow and grey and was trying to figure out a cleaver way to tell our friends. In the midst of all my excitement, I never once considered that I would be someone who would or could have a miscarriage.
It has taken me almost a year to talk about it, a year to process it, a year to not be ashamed, and a year to learn that I am not alone. To all those women, significant others and families who experience this pain, know you are not alone. Know that it is ok to still cry and know that sometimes you can’t, “just get over it.”
