"It’s not that motherhood is out of reach, it’s that it’s just out of reach. It’s not that motherhood didn’t happen, it’s that it almost did and, in fact, still could.

And in the darkness, I would find my greatest strength."

Instead of receiving the much needed compassion and empathy and healing which we so need."
