Deep Rooted Yearning

 

Tossing, turning,
stomach churning,

Heartburn, burning

Deep rooted yearning

For me to arrive

 

You wake

 

Rub your belly

Swollen

Swollen with new life

With me

 

We are connected,

Through life giving ties

 

That led to my demise

The gift of life

Lies

 

You will never look into my eyes

 

Tossing, turning,
stomach churning,

Heartburn, burning

Deep rooted yearning

Longing for me to arrive

 

 

Please show support and understanding to the many women who lose a child during pregnancy or childbirth.  They will never have the opportunity to look into their child’s eyes.

In the first segment, my cousin through marriage, Carol McMurrich speaks about Empty Arms Bereavement Support that she founded, and the need for support of miscarriage, stillbirth and infant loss. If only such support was available everywhere.
