You have raspberries!” is one thing I can always count on my mother to say when she visits my house. As I’ve let our once-manicured flower gardens turn into ever-blossoming pollinator gardens, there will always be raspberries that pop up unannounced. “But you don’t even have any in your yard! How did they get here?!” she’ll say, maniacally searching for the next sprout of raspberries in the garden.

If you’re a woman (or are partnered with one), by the time you reach forty, you have likely comforted someone who has experienced a miscarriage, or you have experienced one yourself. And possibly, you’ve spent time wrapped in that veil of grief that’s hard to unwrap and climb out of, whether you or your loved ones were hoping to be a mother, or not. The “what could have been” is an endless loop of a track you never wanted to play.
