With everything going on in the world, why am I telling you about a toy goat? Because it makes me laugh. Because during those two seconds my goat is screaming, I’m not thinking about abused children or losing voting rights or people being kidnapped off our city streets.
The goat screams for all of us.
Sharing my story is cathartic. But less selfishly, I’ve learned talking about my loss has made others feel less alone. As most anyone who’s suffered a loss knows, there’s a camaraderie in shared grief. But not everyone is comfortable blasting intimate details of their life on the internet. Not everyone has people with whom they can confide. Not everyone feels the love and support I did after losing my babies. So I’ll keep yammering about what I went through for as long as it makes others feel less isolated.
