Miscarriage Awareness

                                "Miscarriage"


This word has a very grief-stricken heavyweight to it.

It is something beyond comparison.
One cannot justify the pain or trauma it leaves behind in a family, especially to a mother, who bears it all.

Just sharing a poem, about how it made me feel back then in the year 2016, (trust me it feels the very same way today too) when I miscarried my own.


I hadn't even caught a glimpse of you
You didn't even have a beating heart
As I knew you were in me
You were already my body part

Conceivably then was not your time
Perhaps God had different plans inline

My heart broke
Seeing you break
Seeing you tear apart

My soul grieved for the loss,
I was hurt & heartbroken

Yet no aid till date
A scar in my heart
Forever as we were meant to be apart

I wonder who you would have been
A sister or a little brother

I wonder what I would have named you
Something traditional, fancy, old or new?

Would your eyes be like your father?
Your smile that would have shined brighter?

I'm still not ready to let your memory go
My heart sinks deeper than you'll ever know

A scar for a lifetime
You'll forever be etched in the heart of mine

I love you
Unconditionally
Grief-stricken Momma

(2016)

Momma Guilt

I Matter Being a mother comes with its perks and challenges.  Unlike any other relationship, this one has no exit door, unless you die  (it is a "hilarious" but a true comment). So mommas, tell me h ow far does this momma guilt push you ??  I am a mother of two and each day is either a surprise or a shock. Of course I love my minions and my world would just be so grey and plain without them. They add a flavour in my life which cannot be replaced.   But there is always a BUT. Well, for starters let's start with three GUILT feelings on which we end up judging ourselves !                                               I am a terrible mother I am a terrible mother I am a terrible mother   Now, they maybe a zillions of things.   Things as per you, your schedule on which you end up judging yourself for even catching a breath. I am her...

When Mom Becomes a Villian!!!

If you have more than one child, you’ve already unlocked the never-ending reality show that is sibling rivalry —a mix of WWE wrestling, courtroom drama, and over-the-top Bollywood-level meltdowns.  One minute, my kids are playing peacefully; the next, there are screams, snatching, and exaggerated tears over who took whose pencil first. They tease each other nonstop mocking handwriting, spelling, or even breathing too loudly, until someone finally breaks down in dramatic agony. But the real twist? The moment I step in to restore peace, I become the villain. If I scold one, the other smirks in victory. If I scold both, they protest in unison, “But Mumma, HE started it! SHE started it!”  And if I stay out of it, suddenly I’m the negligent bystander ignoring grave injustice. Yet, five minutes later, they’re whispering secrets, sharing snacks, and laughing together while I, now cast as the evil stepmother of their fairy tale,  sit there questioning everything. Siblings may fi...
