Infants Remembered In Silence (IRIS) - Poems - THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY

THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY

By Mom, Terrianne Jacobson

In loving memory of Elizabeth Azetu Jacobson

How are you?
Sad
Oh. It’ll go away.

How are you?
I miss my baby.
Oh. She’s an angel now.

How are you?
I really hurt.
Oh. There’ll be other babies.

How are you?
I feel crazy.
Oh. Maybe you should return to work.

How are you?
I’m scared.
Oh. Well, don’t dwell on it.

How are you?
My heart is broken.
Of course. You’ve been shattered.
Thank you for knowing.
