When I returned to work during what should have been my maternity leave, I wasn’t sure how I would cope.
I was recovering from a C-section, riding the waves of grief and trying to navigate a life I didn’t expect to live.
Now, 7 months postpartum and 6 months back at work, I can see that returning to work was the right decision for me.
It didn’t take away the grief, but it gave me purpose, routine, and a reminder that healing and heartbreak can co-exist.
Sometimes the things we fear most become the things that help us heal. 🤍
What’s something you thought would break you, but you got through anyway? ❤️🩹
