I have just finished reading Hush by Kate Maxwell which touches on that lack of love at first sight bond and the loss of former self/ contradiction of having the career etc. really enjoyable/relatable read.
Holly! I am late to the party, but I’m here! (Which is pretty much how I show up to anything, with two in tow). With your birth story, I thought SAME. Literally felt nothing, except for maybe confusion?, when they laid my daughter on my chest. It was with my son’s birth I experienced trauma, though. Reading your words was a bit triggering, tbh. But I’m thankful to be in this room with you. Hoorah for healing.
Lovely words Holly and Emma.
