@yourpalliativepa: This is a piece of the story I haven’t shared very much. I sought out conversation and support from many family members, friends, and the Catholic Church. I truly expected to be “told” what was right and what was wrong during my pregnancy. I truly expected to hear “you can’t abort your baby”…. But I didn’t. That wasn’t said by anyone. Including the church. And it was exactly the support I needed at the time. To not feel like one of my supports my entire life was making this impossible decision for me. I expected to feel angry if I was told what to do. But it didn’t go that way. Not at all. And in the end- I felt more connected than ever to the church and to my faith. And not to mention I cried every week in church for many, many weeks. I couldn’t help it. It was part of my anticipatory grief for what was coming. #grief #catholic #trisomy18 #infantloss #childloss
