Thank you to this voice from the community for perfectly describing this 😭😭😭
The Gift of Tisha B’av
So here’s the question -
Tisha B’av - the 9th of Av - is the saddest day of the year. It’s the day when countless tragedies have occurred to the Jewish people. We are told that we need to sit and cry and mourn. But why the commandment to cry? Why do we HAVE to cry on this day?

Personal Stillbirth Story
“But I won't stop growing. I now have three healthy living children. Each pregnancy came with its own problems and losses in between. Many nights in the labor and delivery triage room getting monitored”

Rest easy my sweet baby girl. Know that you had so much love and family waiting for you here but I have no doubt that all our loved ones who have passed will watch over you and keep you safe.

Goodbye My Little Star
“Goodbye my little star Oh how I loved you I miss you Its time to say goodbyeI step into the dark night Looking up at the velvet sky Tiny spots of light twinkling above Goodbye my little star”
On Healing

Grief is Unique
Grief for each individual is unique. Do not judge the way someone else is manifesting their pain. With grief- there is no right way to feel.
I’m His Mother
