Hugs From An Empty Womb
To: My Little Angel
From: Mommy May 3/13/22
Today I was awaken by a warm embrace. It felt like a hug from my womb, my empty womb. I would have just came back from my three month ultrasound the day before. Excited to see how you’re growing. Excited to hear your heartbeat. Excited to be gaining weight. Excited for it all. Instead I’m longing to feel your little fluttering kicks, using the bathroom throughout the night, and watching my belly get bigger. These are thing that we’ll never have now. You and me. I still cry because Mommy’s missing you. But I have hope that we’ll be meeting again, but this time on the other side of heaven. Since you’re in eternity, a place now with no time, I know you’re waiting for me too. To give me the hugs and kisses that I have longed to give to you. I’ll wait my whole life for them but you’re worth the wait. While I’m still here, a place now with time. I’ll honor God and you with my time. I’ll find the purpose through my pain and help other women do that too. Until we meet again either in my dreams or in heaven, know that mommy loves you then and still loves you now.
My friends,
I’m still crying. The pain is still there. Please don’t think it has left because it hasn’t. But I’m choosing to focus on my purpose instead of my pain. This petition can not help me at this time because I’ve already taken a leave of absence from my job. And it can’t help anyone going through this pain right now. No, this petition is for all future mothers who need this time from their employer to validate how significant the loss has been and to grieve their little Angel.
We’re so close to 500, our next goal. Yesterday I send out hundreds of text messages to people I haven’t spoken to in years. And messaged 100 group administrators in 60+ different miscarriage groups. That may be how you found out about my petition through the groups. Although many of you I’ve never met. We’re connected through the heart and/or the womb. Today, I want everyone to personally connect with ONE other person to ask them to sign. Please continue to fight with me for all our sisters who will experience pregnancy loss. They need their voices heard!
Bless you,
May
