Nothing prepares you

 Nothing prepares you for how much miscarriage hurts.

It’s not “just one of those things.” It’s not something time magically heals.
It’s love with nowhere to go.

People try to comfort you with words that sting

“everything happens for a reason,”
“you can always try again.”

But when you lose a baby, it’s not about logic or timing or trying again.
It’s about a dream that ended too soon.
It’s about love that still lives in your chest with nowhere to land.

If you’ve been through it I’m so sorry.
You don’t have to move on. You don’t have to pretend you’re okay.
You can miss them forever and still keep living.

And if someone you love is going through it, skip the advice.
Just be there. Sit with them in the quiet.
Let them know their baby mattered.
