Fundamental

Another story about motherhood. A famous mother, Meghan Markle, miscarrying her second child. It’s on every headline of my news social media feed. The female power sites that generally are light on the mommy angle, hence why I follow them, are pushing out this story. The plight of the woman. Often in darkness. She’s so brave to highlight this silent shame.

I feel nothing positive about this. I suppose I’m meant to feel badly for her loss and I’m wondering in empathy land if I can get there. See? Stars they’re just like us. It’s all overloaded with privilege.
