It's been 14 years. And that gut punch still hits me regularly. She was only 17.
This is a good representation. It just feels like there is this huge gulf of pain inside. I had an amazing counselor who told me that it would never go away, I will just get better at carrying the weight of it. She was right.
But some days, someone will say something or I will come across a picture or I will hear a song and it overwhelms me. Again.
It's okay to learn to live with constant grief. I have other children, grandchildren, friends and family who I also love. But it's okay to rage against it sometimes too, because it hurts and still feels so unfair.
The sculpture is actually called Melancholy done by Albert Gyorgy. And it’s a tribute to his wife…but please tell me more in your attempt to karma whore. source

17 days ago, my unborn daughter died. It was 3 days before she was due.
I remember seeing a photo of this years/months ago and thinking it was powerful. I now believe it to be remarkably accurate as well.
It is fucking horrible.

What a beautiful and tragic piece of art.
