After childbirth, David lost his wife, Joan, and couldn’t even look at their baby or go through her things. But after working with a therapist, he finally began sorting through his wife’s belongings. He charged her phone and discovered several text messages that changed everything.
“Despite our best efforts, we couldn’t save your wife. She’s gone, sir.”
Those horrid words ran through David’s mind several times a day since the birth of his baby, a beautiful daughter. But he couldn’t even look at her after leaving the hospital.
He was so destroyed that his dear Joan was no longer alive. Luckily, his mother took over and watched the baby as much as possible. David did the bare minimum, so deep in his grief, he couldn’t see anything.
But one day, his mother had enough and ordered him to see a therapist immediately. He agreed and started going to one, working through his despair. Finally, it felt like there was light at the end of the tunnel, and although the doctor’s words still ran through his mind often, he wasn’t so affected anymore.
His mother was proud of him, but David still didn’t dare hold his baby. He was still working through it with the therapist. Maybe I’ll hold her one day.
Or perhaps I should just give her up to someone who would be a better parent, he thought sometimes. But he shook his head, dispelling that thought quickly. Today was about something else.
He had something else on his mind. It was time to go through Joan’s things, get them sorted, and give some away to charity. He hadn’t even touched her hospital bag since the day he brought it home with the baby.
