“There were times when I’d sit in the parked car and eat my fast food alone with the car radio playing, overcome with relief, impressed with my efficiency. This was life with little kids.

What nobody tells you is that miscarriage happens all the time, to more women than you’d ever guess, given the relative silence around it.”
