As a first time mum of a 3mo (corrected age) preemie bub, with today being a particularly hard day, the push notification for your article could not have come at a better time. You're comforting words have helped calm thoughts of lost identity and the unknown, so thankyou ❤️

Thank you so much for writing to my question, Jodi. I am so heartened by your words and your insistence that while there’s no concrete solution, these feelings are valid and there’s value in the juggle. I’m going to be rereading this response and mulling over it - and my own experience - for a while. ❤️🙏

I’m glad it resonated, Jemima. I think it’s comforting to know that we’re all juggling, and perhaps helpful to remember that you have to find your own way x

Sending love. The in-between can be tricky. Small steps x

This is me in this very season and it’s so hard, but your words are a comforting validation and I know that the only way through it is through it. Thank you for beautiful articulating what so many of us are going through.

My absolute pleasure. I’ve been through it four times and now, with the clarity of retrospect, I know that you eventually find a way out of the struggle. It just takes time x
