Mothersday is coming..

The words from my Linkedin Post:

Thank you all so much for your words and messages.I have received the past weeks when sharing the news of our stillborn daughter Lily. Baby loss was a topic I knew about, and have seen from close as well, but never have I been aware the scale of how many times and in how many forms this can happen.

I’ve been getting the trust of many of my friends and connections of sharing their stories, which gives some sort of support of not being alone in having experiencing this loss and also the courage and pride of sharing mine, being it’s still a source of sadness, guilt, doubt, and at the same time love and pride.

Reading this about the birth of the daughter of Max Verstappen, a lovely girl also named Lily with a bright future ahead of her filled me with double feelings. He was talking about being the dad of Lily and I asked my boyfriend how he felt being the dad of Lily. He didn’t felt like a dad at all, which made me so sad. Sometimes I do feel like a mother, I was pregnant, experienced the symptoms, I have given birth and all aspects that come with it. But not being pregnant and having an empty house doesn’t feel like the concept I always had in my head of being a mother either.
