A couple months ago I lost a baby. I was naive to the pain of what this felt like. There was a moment when I was on bed rest where I wondered if the emotional pain could kill me. It doesn’t. I’m still here. Stronger than ever because I had an unbelievable amount of support from the people in my life - the people who were there to pick me up off the ground...to sit there and cry with me...to feed me when I couldn’t eat. I am so thankful that I didn’t have to go through it alone and that Dom and I had our family, friends and team rally around us during our hardest times. So in the later half of the season when I was out ‘sick’ I was losing our baby. I hate that I couldn’t talk about it. I hate that I felt like I couldn’t because there was a sense of shame and embarrassment that came with losing a baby. Except the statistic of losing a baby is 1 in 4. Which means there are so many of us going about our day trying to bury our grief and pain. I want to tell my truth in hopes that other women like me don’t feel so alone. How can we heal if we don’t admit that we’re hurt? I’m hurt. But I’m stronger because of it and it took me some time to get here. And I know I have a long way to go but we can get there together. Today we break the silence and honor all of our babies that we lost too soon.
