I read the babylost blogs (because I am, apparently, a ghoul. Or because I feel I need to bear witness. Or, most honestly, to look steadily at my worst fear and make myself believe I could survive it.) This is a really commonly expressed sentiment there. There are no replacement babies. But there are babies who would not have been, at all, were it not for their lost brothers and sisters. It's grief and joy and mystery beyond our understanding.
I, random stranger on the Internet, wept for you this day last year, and am humbled by your grace, and so very glad that you survived.
