True story

Worse thing I ever had to do

Was organise my baby’s funeral

Carry her tiny coffin

And watch them bury her.

She died during Labour.

Saw her still form

Just one breath from life.

Witnessed my partner

Disintegrate before my eyes. 

Somebody had to stay strong.

That was me

Though the pain still hurts me.

I would have rather she lived

And they buried me.

Sad to say

But this is a true story

Not inspirational 

No happy ending

Just life

And death.

  4. I feel that one! Been there, done that. My little one was just alive when born. had to watch him die in my arms. Carrying the coffin was the hardest thing I have ever done.
