Miscarriage of Justice
By my third miscarriage I knew what to expect. I awoke late one night with a cramping sensation and I immediately knew what was happening.I watched as my husband slept and couldn’t bring myself to wake him. Waking him would make this real. I fooled myself into thinking if I could just go back to sleep my mind and body would shut down and put an end to what was happening. I laid there in numb silence willing everything to stop.

The peacefulness of his sleep keeping the impending nightmare at bay.
