The journey to bringing a child into this world has been very challenging.
On November 22, 2019, I suffered a miscarriage at 18 weeks and 5 days — the day before our wedding. That day, we lost our baby, nicknamed baba, and our lives changed forever.
Years of pain and stress due to Endometriosis, Adenomyosis and Fibroids. Many surgeries and hurtful encounters with medical staff. Several unsuccessful rounds of IUI, IVF, Embryo Transfers and a 2nd miscarriage on an easter weekend.
Pain. Anger. Disbelief. Tears. A lot of money spent, and nothing to show for it — except love. A fierce renewed love of self and an outpour of love over my life — our lives.
In 2026, I felt called to scream my story of loss, grief and infertility from the rooftops, in the hopes that it would resonate with kindred hearts and shatter the deafening silence around this very special & unfortunate journey that afflicts all too many people.
This is a letter of love. A wedding story.
A Letter to baba.
