👩‍🍼 A pregnancy marked by grief and unyielding strength

When she was pregnant with twins, joy filled every heartbeat.

Until she lost one.

One heartbeat stopped. The other struggled to survive.

Doctors warned her body would need to work twice as hard — to carry grief and hope in the same womb.

But she chose to fight. For the baby who remained. For the memory of the one who didn’t.

“I never stopped talking to both of them,” she said. “Even after one was gone.”

She delivered her daughter early — safely. But the shadow of the twin never left her.

She celebrates one birthday while mourning another soul.

Some days are heavy. But she keeps going. Because love for a child doesn’t end in the womb — and grief doesn’t end with the birth.

She is a mother of two. Even if she only holds one.

🕊️ Some mothers carry more than children — they carry invisible loss, and relentless love.

And to every parent grieving what could’ve been — remember:

🪶 Every fall has a rise. Every struggle has a story.
