Original: Earlier this year, we published Shana's story about loosing her baby son, who was born preterm at just over one pound, after just thirty days of having him here. In the middle of his hospital stay, on the fifth day of baby Atticus's life, she and her partner went to the courthouse and got married. It didn't matter that they were planning a wedding for that summer, they needed to be a family for Atticus then. After that post went up, and you guys overwhelmed her with love, she told me, "When a baby dies, often people don't want to hurt the parents feelings or make them cry, so they avoid talking about the baby or avoid saying his name. But all the parents want to do is talk about their babies and say their names over and over. Thank you for giving me the space to talk about my son and to allow me to say his name over and over." And I wanted to thank each of you for holding Shana & Jared & Atticus in your hearts then. Today, Shana is back, talking about what their wedding this summer felt like, and how they've negotiated the darkness in the months since Atticus's death. I know you'll hold them in your hearts just as fiercely today.
