After losing our daughter at 30 weeks, I didn't believe I would ever feel joy again. This is my journey through the darkest months and the gentle light that eventually appeared.

Grief doesn't disappear, but it can change shape — and mine did, into something I could carry alongside love, memory and hope for the future.
