We are so happy to be featuring Jessica today! Her words are so beautiful, and we are excited to share her story with you!
Our sweet angel Olivia was born still on February 19th, 2019. A few days before she was born, I noticed a difference in her movements. Being my first pregnancy, I didn’t really know what to expect, but the movements became more and more alarming as time went on. We went in for a stress test, and at 32 weeks they told us there was no longer a heart beat. The next few days were a total blur; the delivery, coming home without a baby, her funeral...it still doesn’t seem real. There are no answers as to why we lost her. I whole-heartedly believe she was just too perfect for Earth. I’ve relied a lot in my faith knowing that Olivia is free from harm. She will never be hurt. She is perfect and she is safe.
To others who have lost a loved one, take all the time you need to grieve. Your feelings are so valid. Even your craziest thoughts have been thought of by others in a similar situation. You have every right to feel everything you are feeling.
It’s hard feeling like you’re the only one who remembers your child, so I love when others bring her up. Talking about her is very therapeutic; I love it! Sharing our story has connected me with so many others who have been in similar situations. I have gained lifelong friends through our experience. Although I would never wish this experience upon anybody, I’m grateful for our perfect little angel who has blessed our lives forever.
