So, now I’ve been through two pregnancies after loss. I get the anxiety. I get the fear. But I also know that grief and joy go hand-in-hand. That there is hope after loss. I know that the love we have for our babies is stronger than the fear of losing them. And I know that time softens grief, but it will never erase it.
