Dedication

Abena

I know this is more so an app for women however men are affected as well when a baby comes or doesn't into the world. I've noticed posts about women trying to get through to their SO's when a miscarriage happens. Most times the SO is just trying to get back to normalicy by not addressing their feelings and this frustrates or upsets the one women who miscarried because she is going through pain and her SO wants to pretend it never happened.

I heard a song today that may help. The words are perfect and could reach that place that the SO has buried down deep with out forcing them to expose their broken heart over a lost child. The song is by Rihanna called Close to you. Here are the words:

Nothing but a tear, that's all for breakfast

Watching you pretend you're unaffected

You're pulling our connections, expecting me to let you go

But I won't

No you don't need my protection

But I'm in love, can't blame me for checking

I love in your direction, hoping that the message goes

Somewhere close to you

Close to you

Like so close if they heard you, you wouldn't find out

Just say now, I'm coming right now, to be close to you

Said you let it go, you kept it

Working hard to perfect it

Now your fear is reckless, and it's out of your control

Would you let it go?

No you don't need my protection

But I'm in love, can't blame me for checking

I love in your direction, hoping that the message goes

Somewhere close to you

Close to you

Like so close if they heard you, you wouldn't find out

If you let me, I'd be there by now

Close to you
