Would have been, should have been, could have been...It was not!!!!

August 2017 would have been my baby Omphile’s due month, but August came and there was no baby and no birthday…..

August 2017 should have been one of the happiest month, instead it was the saddest……

August 2017 could have been a month where we welcomed a bouncy, beautiful and healthy baby into the world but instead I had to send my best wishes to my dear friend who had just had a baby girl ….

August 2017 would have been…..should have been… could have been …………….

BUT it was not😭😭😭

I spent that month with a heavy heart, with my arms physically aching for a baby.

Grief is deeply rooted, deeply personal and deeply immeasurable. For anyone undergoing the heartbreak of pregnancy loss, the pain is worsened by the feeling of isolation as topics like ectopic pregnancies/ miscarriage remain a taboo….
