A friend of mine miscarried her baby, I can’t even
begin to imagine the pain and emptiness she must feel. If only we could send
bits of strength and courage to help her heal. Something I admire so much about
her is the way she loved that baby, she taught me that just because a pregnancy
isn’t very far along, and the chances of losing life are high, doesn’t mean we
should be afraid to love that little being. That tiny life deserves love no
matter how certain its chances of survival are. Loving someone always makes us
vulnerable, whether a fetus, partner, family member or friend. We could lose
them at any moment, the pain doesn’t mean they weren’t worth loving, it means
that their life brought us joy whether for 10 years, 10 weeks, 10 days or a
lifetime. The world is a better place because of that love, we are better
people for having loved.
