A life and a love

A quote from an article in the Irish Times last summer (borrowed from Dana's blog): "With a stillborn baby, there is no past to be mourned – which is another loss in itself – but there are the endless, unfulfilled possibilities of the future that we need, somehow, to make our peace with."

There is a past to be mourned. Angel lived and then she died. Although she never took a breath of air and she only lived inside me, she still lived and, therefore, has a past. 


"What we have once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love
deeply becomes a part of us".
