What I've learned 💛

Jil
This is my first miscarriage, and while everyday is a wrestling match with my emotions, I am trying to stay positive, as I've learned more through this experience than I could have ever thought. 
I've learned a respect for my own body and health. Our bodies are incredible at knowing how to heal. I need to treat my body with kindness and care. Being critical of my flaws is unfair, I need to treat my body with kindness and care. 
I've learned a respect for time and nature, trying to be patient and allowing the cycles to reset as they will. 
I've learned not everything is in my control. No matter how much I fought, I was powerless. I need to let go and trust that everything happens for a reason. 
I've learned not to be ashamed. This is not my fault. It can happen to anyone, as it commonly does. We need to remove the stigma from this, it is a natural occurrence that happens to many people, and we need to embrace and console without judgement. 
Most importantly I've learned to cherish my relationships. The people in my life care for me more than I ever knew before. They deserve my openness and I deserve their compassion. There is more love in the world than I was ever aware of before. 
I wish strength, confidence, peace and love to all who are suffering with this at this time in your journey. You are stronger than you know. 🌸
