'It took one moment for my daughter to die… just one.'
As a mother, it was my duty to protect her, to help see her through the rest of her childhood tomorrows, but I couldn’t do it.

, a fierce and loving nurturer to my kids. And somehow, some way, by one moment of horrible, rotten luck, I lost one of my children.I felt lower than the most negligent of mothers. I felt like everyone, including me, would always see me as the mother who couldn’t succeed at motherhood. It didn’t make sense, so I blamed and hated myself for it.I’d be lying if I said that, at times, I didn’t think themight kill me.
them for their insinuations they didn’t mean to harm me with… the ones that became contorted in my own head which told me that only the parents who do not deeply love their child can continue existing without them.I didn’t always want to or think I could continue walking, talking, or breathing after my child died, butwhat my throbbing mommy-heart felt. The world never stopped turning for this bereaved mother.
