The only comfort they both knew, was taken away by the need for medication. She wished that for weaning a baby off breastfeeding, there was also education. Her chest was wrung and constricted with guilt and great sadness. The end of their journey was just beginning and already she felt helpless. Inhaling deeply, she said to herself, "This would … [Read more...]
