Susannah

I don’t know how long I cried for. I didn’t think that was going to happen and it was pretty weird. All the sadness of that baby just burst out of me. The intensity scared me: it was as if I, grown-up normal me, had been swallowed up in a darkness of tears and I couldn’t stop. And at times I could hardly breathe.

I remember Robin comforting me (what if she hadn’t? That would have finished us!). And I remember she got up a few times, to get more tissues, to fetch me a glass of water. I remember feeling exhausted; at some point I must have fallen asleep.

When I wake up, I’m still exhausted and now also embarrassed, yet there’s a palpable sense of lightness. Something has been let out, let go, that clearly needed to be let out but I still don’t quite know what to make of it. Do I apologise? No, I don’t think I did anything wrong – confronting definitely but not wrong. Instead I decide to thank her.
