‘Never Apart’ is an image which arose from my experience as a pediatric death doula and represents the love of a mother whose child has died. It also represents the countless and unimaginably heartbreaking number of choices a parent has to make when they care for a child who has a terminal illness. These parents suffer anticipatory grief throughout the duration of that illness which can last many months to many many years. The grace with which these parents move through their broken world is where I have found myself most in reverence and awe of the capacities of the heart of a mother.
