Marli Opens Up About the Emotional Toll of Miscarrying A Child

You know, I've talked to women before who've miscarried, who've lost children

And I feel like a lot, unless you go through it, it's a very misunderstood experience

Do you think it's a misunderstood experience? And what light can you shed on it if so

I do feel like it's a misunderstood experience. And the reason I would say that is because, well, a lot of people just say, oh, well, they were too early for you to know

Because I've lost children at, you know, five, six, seven weeks. And it's true

It was too early to actually physically know that they were there

But as soon as you get those two pink lines as a mother, you're terrified already

And you want to do everything for them at the very beginning. Um, so you know that they're there and they're a baby and I don't like the word stillborn

because or stillbirth. I like to say that they were still here because even though that they were past and that they're

not physically living, but they were still here for us and that those tiny little feet

are always imprinted on our hearts and they never leave. And so I think sometimes when women go through this, sometimes we go through this alone, um

Because we're the ones there most of the time when this miscarriage is happening and we don't often say, hey, this is happening to me

And we're scared to say it because there's a lot of stigma about it
