Wunschkind: Motherhood Poetry: A collection of poems on infertility, resilience, and hope. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798863503455)

"How do you explain to someone
that you miss what never was?
That your life is interrupted
by a child who is on pause?
That your heart is aching for
someone that's not anywhere.
You can't explain the yearning
for a soul that isn't there.
You can't transmit the feeling
of sleeping with your fears.
So you keep on longing quietly
and resort to silent tears."

Raw and poignant poetry pieces on motherhood. Not every pregnancy journey is straightforward. For some, the wish follows a positive pregnancy test, and the test follows an uncomplicated birth and a healthy baby. For many, there are many more hurdles in between. This poetry book is dedicated to these women.

This book comprises 36 poems and prose including pieces on infertility, IVF, pregnancy, birth, and the first days with a newborn.
