This is a powerful photo, particularly for mothers who have endured pregnancy and infant loss.  The depiction is so poignant.

A dear friend of mine resonates with this quote, and it too is especially poignant in bereavement.  The two together is just captivating.

The original photo source is a brilliantly talented photographer: Koren Reyes Photography.

Here is a culmination of links to offer support on this difficult journey.
