Parenting After Loss: What My Daughter Taught Me Before She Was Born

I was expecting my second child in 2023. My husband and I were so excited to have another little baby and to see our son become a big brother. Sadly, we lost our daughter Evie at 23 weeks pregnant. This was devastating.

Falling pregnant with our third baby was terrifying. However, I believe our little Evie’s purpose was to make us love more fiercely and be stronger for our two kids, as we knew the sadness of loss. Through that, we knew how incredibly important every moment with our children is.

Evie shaped my parenting journey, as I became a more resilient, loving, and yet vulnerable version of myself ahead of the birth of my third child. And thanks to us knowing and loving Evie, I believe I am able to give more of myself to each of my children I have with me here.
