Your story is really sad and it sounds like you've found a way to heal and help others do so. I often think about the emotions of the mothers that came before me in my family tree - and how there was no time to grieve when a child was lost. It's heartbreaking to consider.
Thank you for reading and considering the women in your tree. I often wish I could more easily talk to the women in my lineage to better understand what they experienced. I do wonder if, (although strongly suspect), most of the women in this line in particular were married to men who were emotionally unavailable and that pattern of marrying such a man continued through me. If we look at culture and society though, men were not taught how to handle their emotions, only be tough and strong and kings. I think it's only been within the last couple of generations that men have the option to be something different and heal their own wounds and feel their pain in a more "public" way. So many things to consider.
