I want to speak to those who have lost a child. That child could be of any age. The child could be pre-born. The loss could even be of fertility. These are losses without resolution. A grief without end. Despite the when, why or age, the loss is not just of the child when it happened. The loss includes the recognition of all developmental milestones, that loss of celebrating life events because in one’s mind, that child can continue to grow.

It’s interesting. The fact that I don’t actually enjoy my cardiac rehab excercise seems to upset some people, including my coach at the program. Several are looking for solutions assuming this is a problem. It’s not a problem for me. It doesn’t get in the way of what I have to do. It does make me wonder though about people’s belief systems.

Stigma is when someone is discredited, reduced as a person and made to feel no more than a label as a result of particular circumstance, behaviour, personality or due to one of their traits. For a long time now, mental illness has incurred a great stigma. People with diagnosed or undiagnosed disorders and symptoms have been seen and labelled as different or wrong in some way.

The child entered my office and barely could contain themself. Quickly they told me about their preference of who to live with, given their parents separation. The child went on to explain how the preferred parent was better than the other. Once told, the child settled. I thanked the child and complemented on being able to share their information. Given the abundance of information I asked if either parent helped them remember all the points they shared.

Bandaids, and the systemic racism inherent in a single “skin color” option, is an example most are familiar with, right? But knowing it intellectually is very different from experiencing it firsthand. A couple weeks ago, my whole family got our Covid boosters. Each of us received a bandaid that was a very different shade from our skin color. Every time it caught my eye, I had a little moment of thinking about skin color, belonging, and default bodies.
