There is a quote from this article that I find particularly striking:
With a stillborn baby, there is no past to be mourned – which is another loss in itself – but there are the endless, unfulfilled possibilities of the future that we need, somehow, to make our peace with.
Although, I do feel like there is a past to be mourned. Jacob lived and then he died. Although he never took a breath of air and he only lived inside me, he still lived and, therefore, has a past.

I agree 100%.
I agree with you. There is a past, however brief. There are memories, if only a few.
I completely agree...
I really liked that article but also had a problem with the idea that there was no past to be mourned. Too often that is the mindset of those who expect us to "move on." I completely agree with you! Sending you love and support!
