Life has a habit of taking us by surprise, and Evie just found herself in the position of having to deal with one of those unforeseen difficulties. Because she felt it intolerable to preserve the garments that her stillborn baby had worn, she asked her husband to dispose of them. This was in response to the devastating loss that she had experienced. Everyone was taken aback by Evie’s subsequent action, as she found herself taking an unanticipated step in the middle of her sadness. A year later, she still clearly remembers every scene, and she is ready to share her story with us, despite the fact that everything finally came out nicely.
My pregnancy ended in miscarriage two weeks before the due date. Considering that the baby clothing were a consistent cause of emotional discomfort for me, I was able to persuade my husband to part ways with all of the baby items.
After a month had passed, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw my sister-in-law’s infant wearing the identical onesie that I had purchased for my own expectant kid. I couldn’t believe my eyes.
According to my spouse, “At the very least, I wanted my niece to have it.” I did not open my mouth and refrained from providing a response. Following the gathering of everyone in the living room, I moved stealthily into the chamber that was reserved for the infant. The onesie that she was wearing was gently removed, and I went to the closet to get all of the clothing that belonged to my kid. I gently exited the room after making certain that she was draped in a warm blanket and that she was comfortable.
The next day, my mother-in-law reached out to my husband in order to explain how frustrated she was with the situation. My feelings of jealousy and the fact that I had no right to touch the baby’s clothes were attributed to her. As far as my spouse is concerned, the actions that I took were “unforgivable.”
To say that our relationship has gone a long way since that event is an understatement. It has been a whole year since that happened.
I gave birth to a new little daughter a few months ago. The fact that my new baby daughter is now wearing the garments is a testament to the fact that my husband held off on throwing them away.
However, it is still difficult to shake off the memories of the maltreatment I received while only attempting to commemorate the memory of my unborn child even though I was trying to do so. Am I in the wrong?
