@juliaaldenmcg: “Having a baby shouldn’t heal you.” But… what if it does? My Mom died in April. If I didn’t have my daughter I don’t know where I would be standing, or if I would be standing. Truly. I carry my grief every day. I miss my mom every day. But when I wake up in the morning, the first thing I see is pure joy. I see my mom’s blue eyes. I hear laughter, and I laugh. Having my daughter didn’t just change my life — it saved my life. And I think that’s okay to admit. #motherhood #griefjourney #parentloss
