Five days before my due date, my baby died. The grief was quiet but crushing. My husband Daniel blamed me for pushing myself too hard. Months later, he left, saying he couldn\u2019t live in a house filled with \u201cwhat could have been.\u201d<\/p>\n

For five years, I carried the guilt alone\u2014every park, every newborn, every quiet moment reminded me of what I thought I had caused.<\/p>\n
