Grieving the baby you're yet to conceive

If you're grieving a baby you haven't yet conceived, this is for you.
I want you to know you're not alone.
I have felt this grief deeply myself.
So have friends of mine. And clients. And random women I've engaged in conversation with.
It's felt with the pregnancy announcements. The baby shower invites. Meeting friends’ and family's newborns.
It's felt with every passing cycle. Every appointment. Every well-meaning loved one checking in to see how you're doing, if you've received answers, if there's good news.
It's felt when you receive messages from your spirit baby. Have dreams of them. Feel their presence.
And the thing about this kind of grief is time does nothing to heal it because you're living it every day. You can't move on from it because you're in it.
You're in this liminal space between lives. Between the life you had before trying to conceive and the one you're longing for; reaching for.
And in this space, there's something missing. Someone missing.
But I want you to know something…
This grief you're experiencing is serving a purpose.
It's a reminder. A confirmation.
It's telling you that you are destined to be a mother to this baby.
The grief exists because your soul remembers this destiny and your human self has started to remember too.
But us humans like to have tangible evidence.
The grief is the human part of you that is unable to reconcile the soul-deep knowing that your spirit baby is destined to be here with you, with the current 3D reality of them not being here yet.
The grief exists because of the deep soul bond you share with your spirit baby that defies time and space but is being experienced within the confines of how we perceive time and space here on Earth.
This grief is sacred. It's not something to fix or judge.
It’s something to experience. To hold space for.
If you've made it this far, I've created a gentle resource to help you hold space for this grief.
All my love and support,
Christie. x
