My Little Jellybean
by Brandylynn Snyder
A tender, raw collection of poems written for mothers who have experienced miscarriage and pregnancy loss. These words hold space for the grief that is often suffered in silence — the love that had no time to grow, but was no less real.
Poem Excerpts
The Size of a Jellybean
when I first heard your heart.
Small enough to hold in my palm,
large enough to break it.
What I Carry
in the space between sleep and waking,
in the weight of every almost.
Unnamed
But I had already named you
in every prayer I whispered
before you were even real.
