She didn’t stop talking about the baby because she “moved on.”
She stopped because people got uncomfortable.
Because grief makes the room go quiet.
Because loss makes others change the subject.
Because society has never known what to do with a mother whose baby never made it earthside.
But her love didn’t fade.
Her pain didn’t disappear.
Her baby didn’t become any less real just because others didn’t know how to hold the conversation.
She carries that little life in a place no one can see,
and sometimes silence is the only safe place she has left.
