"My husband Jonathan – we loved each other. What he went through to save me, you can't call that anything but true love. So, when I told him we were going to be having a child, we laughed together like a pair of angels. We were going to name it Quincy if a boy or Lucy if a girl.
But less than a month later... my child died inside me. I was so broken. I needed Jonathan more than ever. And you want to know what he said to me?
'I'm sorry you weren’t strong enough.'
I... took off my ring and set it on the table, filled up a suitcase, and walked out the door. We didn't look at or speak to each other, and I never wanted to be loved again."
