Time moves on but NICU stays with you. |
"When I first met another NICU mum it felt as though the burden I had been carrying for all those months had lifted.
I felt so much lighter, I felt understood, and I felt as though I was normal.
The look in your eyes today, it took me back.
Every gut wrenching feeling washed over me, your pain resonated with me on a level that is almost indescribable.
I want you to know, I get it mama, I really do in only a way someone who has been through it can.
You are not alone.
I am here for you, part of the same club that neither of us asked to be in.
One that will be with us for a long time to come, if not forever."

I am so proud of the piece I recently wrote for The M Word it is dedicated to all the NICU parents I have met recently, but one lady in particular inspired this piece 💜
