(She/Her)
Hi, in April of 2025, I lost my son. He was placed in the NICU shortly after birth, and just five days later, he passed away. That moment changed everything in my life. I carried him with so much love and hope. Losing him so suddenly has brought a deep pain I never imagined. I’m struggling to understand this grief and to find a way to live with the love I still carry for him. Every day is a challenge, but I hold on to his memory as I try to heal.
What I Hope to Share
I hope to contribute honesty, empathy, and a listening heart. Even in my own pain, I believe in the power of shared experiences to bring comfort. If my story helps someone feel seen or a little less alone, then it means a lot. I also hope to gain connection and genuine understanding from people who know what grief or mental health feels like.
What Brought Me to ShareWell
I came to ShareWell because I need a space to share my grief without judgment. It has been isolating, and I don’t always have the words or people around me who understand this kind of pain. I’m hoping that connecting with others who’ve experienced loss can help me feel less alone, and maybe help me begin to heal, one step at a time.
