The Moment That Changed Everything
I was pregnant again, suffering from relentless morning sickness that felt like it was hollowing me out. My body, already weakened from carrying two children in quick succession, felt like it could hardly hold the weight of another life. By the time I gave birth four months later, I had given birth three times in just 26 months. My body was breaking. My mind was fraying. But there, in the middle of that spring afternoon, surrounded by the sun and my children’s laughter, I felt as though I was breaking too.
