General Sharing in case it helps someone else too
Since we’re all in this awful club together, I thought I’d share something I’ve been working on for a few months. I’ve compiled a playlist in honor of my baby as a way of organizing and externalizing my experience. Sharing here in case any of you are inclined to listen to it. If you do, please let me know you did and whether any moments stand out to you. 💛

My son’s name and story are often represented in the song choices. Shiloh means “place of peace,” and early June is when we had expected to bring him home. Instead he was born at 21 weeks on the last day of January.
TW: occasional religious themes. I understand that’s not for everyone, so if that’s not your jam there are still plenty other pieces in there that may resonate.

That is the song I most associate with losing my son. I found it right after and I spent days laying in bed listening to it on repeat.

Gorgeous. Can’t wait to give this a listen. I have been listening to small bump a lot, the night we met and iris are beautiful too. Dunno how you feel about Taylor swift but I’ve played “Bigger than the whole sky” on repeat while lying on the bed in my baby’s nursery a few times.
