Insane amount of energy in this one - sometimes the sadness is invigorating - hell - it's an emotion...
I came across this track when working on the Grief Directory and found myself reading a beautiful article from a mother who had experienced a "Missed Miscarriage." The article is called Her Name Is Rose and if you wondered what it was like to go through and survive something like that - give it a read.
