I had a stillbirth 3 years ago. It devastated me. It changed me. But I chose to let it change me into a better person, a better mom, a better wife, a more kind person who chooses to love deeper. I’ve been changed to choose to love and listen even when the world says that if your opinions don’t match another, you should hate or disconnect with that person. The loss of my daughter has changed my health and the outlook on life in countless ways. And though we continue to walk a path of infertility yet again, I am choosing to love the life that I have been richly blessed with, enjoy the smallest moments as much as the big moments and connect and love those that walk the same path that we have walked. My friends lost their stillborn son at 20 weeks 3 days. They chose to bury his ashes in one of their most cherished places. I simply wanted to capture this night for them and love them. My only hope is that these images will be cherished for many lifetimes and their son is always remembered and always loved for the way he has changed all who love him.
