A Baby Boy

It’s not that I don’t like children. On the contrary, I really love the children of my brother and sisters, and they love me back. Even now, as I am old and they have children of their own, they visit Harvey and me often enough. And I really like their children too. Feels a bit like grandchildren, even. No, it’s not that I don’t love children.

I never wanted any of my own, that’s all. Not that I put much thought to it, really – I just never got pregnant. Not even had my period late once. Regular as clockwork – until it stopped completely, of course. Harvey would have liked to have children, I know that, but he rarely spoke about it. It just didn’t happen for us, and neither of us expressed any real sorrow about that. We had a full life, with our own business and so, and life has been kind to us.

Welcome

Welcome to you all on these pages…

I thought about creating a place for those of us who seek a place to mourn the child that never was born for some time now, and as a New Years resolution I decided to finally do it.

Neverborn children are so often an untold story – after losing a baby, or after mourning about realizing you may never have one, after a while you are supposed to move on, people just seem to lose intrest. But in reality the sadness takes a long time to abate, and often will never vanish completely. Telling the story, sharing it with others, will help though.

So, if you have a story to share, be welcome to tell it here. I hope it will help you to recover, even if only just a little.
