Introduction	Shattered. Broken. Unrecognizable as the person I was before my son was stillborn. Our eldest daughter was born 15 months later and is alive and well. Our second daughter was born alive and well 2 1/2 years after her older sister. Our youngest daughter was born six years later (almost ten years after A). The girls brighten our days and lighten our lives but I'm still practicing how to hold both joy and anguish simultaneously in my heart.
