I have a slightly different take on today’s topic.

For Mother’s Day, bereaved mommas from all over the world shared photos to honor the sacred space of their baby’s first home and the bond they will share forever. On May 1, 2015, I submitted a photo for The Sacred Project.

This is where Elliot lived for 41 weeks, her entire physical life. I was proud of my postpartum belly then, and I am proud of it now.

This is our sacred space.
