5 years

Half a decade gone and my heart still aches. Today marks 5 years since Clara was born, since I held her in my arms and then said goodbye. So much has changed in the passing years. Life is busy with her two younger siblings. We talk about Clara, their sister but its a challenge for the older one to understand the concept of what happened to her. Its through her and honoring her memory that I continue my work supporting bereaved parents.

The healing process was such a long journey for me and I accept that I will never be 100% without her. I live my life with some sense of normalcy and for the most part I am happy. I am grateful to be able to raise two beautiful, smart and courageous little girls. But there's day like today where my heart aches and I just miss my baby.

Happy Birthday Clara.
Mommy loves and misses you.
