Trigger Warning: pregnancy loss / miscarriage

Holding space for both grief and hope, and learning to trust what feels

I wanted to share a small life update—just to close the loop on something I had shared before.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been navigating something personal… and we did lose the pregnancy.

I took some time away to really listen to my body and my mind, and to give myself the space I needed. If you noticed I was quiet for a while, that’s why.

One thing I’ve learned from this experience—and from others in the past—is that what feels natural is usually what’s right for the time being.

There’s a kind of in-between space that exists…
somewhere between grief and hope.

And I’ve learned that two truths can exist at the same time.

I can feel sadness and loss, while also knowing that life continues to move forward.
That there is always another chapter getting ready to open… even if I can’t see it yet.

That’s why stepping back sometimes is so important.

It’s not hiding.
It’s not something you need to explain or justify.

It’s simply taking care of yourself in the way you need to, when you need to.

I took the time I needed—and I would do it again.

---

If there’s anything I hope someone takes from this, it’s this:

If you need to rest, take the rest.
If you need space, take the space.

You don’t need permission from anyone else to care for yourself.

You matter, and you are loved…
so make sure to love yourself too 💛
