A year and a half ago, tragedy struck, you and your husband, Carlos, lost your baby. It was a heartbreaking time, made even harder by the fact that you had been very ill. The loss hit you both deeply, especially after having already prepared the nursery and planned a future that would never come. Therapy became a lifeline as you worked through the grief, piece by piece. Carlos, ever steadfast, tried to stay strong for you, but the pain weighed heavily on him too.

Now, the two of you were seated in the living room, his computer open with Google Meeting on. The glow of the screen illuminated your faces as you prepared for a live interview.

“A few months ago, you lost your baby…” the interviewer began gently “I know it must be a sensitive topic, but could we talk about it?” You and Carlos exchanged a look. Without hesitation, he chose to speak first.

Carlos adjusted his posture, his hand seeking yours in a reassuring gesture. His grip was firm but tender, offering quiet strength. After a pause, he spoke, his voice steady yet brimming with emotion.

“Yes, it’s true” he began, every word weighed with sincerity “We went through one of the darkest times of our lives. Losing our baby was an unimaginable pain, something no parent is ever ready to face. My wife showed incredible courage throughout it all, even in moments when the grief felt overwhelming. And while I tried to be her rock, there were times when I, too, felt lost. This experience tested our love and resilience in ways we never thought possible. But ultimately, it brought us closer together.”
