I wish I had known that being a single mom wasn’t going to be the hardest part. I already knew I would be raising my daughters alone after making the difficult decision to leave my marriage because of domestic violence. What I didn’t know was that I would truly be alone.
My mom passed away just two weeks after I found out I was pregnant. She was my rock and supported me with all 12 pregnancy losses. She wanted to be a grandmother so bad and I know she would have done anything for me and my girls. Her absence is devastating, especially being newly postpartum.
After my girls were born, not one family member came to help. Not one friend stopped by or even called to check on me. I had no visitors while I was in the hospital recovering from my C-section. I kept waiting for someone to show up, and eventually I realized no one was coming.
That realization broke my heart for a while. The newborn stage with three babies has been exhausting, lonely, and overwhelming. Every feeding, diaper change, late-night wake-up, bottle washing, and tear has been on my shoulders. Some days I question how I make it through, but somehow I always do. My girls are my reason to keep going.
Looking back, I realize this journey has changed me in ways I never expected. It has made me stronger, more confident, and more resilient than I ever thought possible. My daughters only know my love, my voice, and my arms, and the bond we’ve built because we’ve been through everything together. It’s something I wouldn’t trade for anything.
To everyone in the Momcozy Community, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You may not realize it, but you’ve become the village I thought I would never have. Your kindness, encouragement, and support have reminded me that family isn’t always the people you’re related to. Sometimes it’s the people who choose to stand beside you. Thank you for helping me feel seen, heard, and never truly alone. 
You almost make me cry!! I just can’t imagine how hard it must be for you. When I was reading your post, I just want to come and help you!! I really wish this community can do it in some ways! I’m sure your mother is out there watching you and your girls. I really wish I can do something to help you or to not feel alone. 
you are amazingly strong and brave! Look at you go your doing it and on your own! Wonder Woman forsure
Thank you for trusting us with your story. It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable, and your words are going to comfort so many other moms who might feel isolated right now. Family really is about who shows up, and this community is always going to show up for you. Your girls are growing up wrapped in pure love and ultimate strength. We are so proud to be your village!
. I 100% believe my mom has her hands all over my girls. Like I said, I had 12 miscarriages prior to this pregnancy. I had multiple surgeries on my uterus to repair my major uterine septum and even post-op I continued to have miscarriages. My doctor basically told me that I’m Barron and asked if I wanted to explore other options such as adoption. I told my mom as soon as I found out I was pregnant with my triplets. At the time I was unaware it’s was triplets, I just knew I was pregnant. 2 weeks later she passed away unexpectedly from a massive heart attack and stroke. I had gotten so used to hearing the words ‘I’m sorry. There is no heartbeat’ that I assumed this pregnancy would likely end in loss as well. Every time I would go to my OB during this pregnancy I would just be waiting to hear the bad news. I truly believe the only reason I carried to term was because of my mom. 
I lost my mom 9 months before I found out I was pregnant. I’m so sorry to hear that. How awful! My mom and I were so close. She was my rock too, and my best friend. Life will never be the same. She always said if I got pregnant that she would move closer to me (she lived out of state), and that she would stay with me for a few months to help me with the baby. I think about her all the time. I would have so loved for her to meet my daughter. I do believe that she lives on through my daughter though. A big part of her is within my daughter, and she will always be with me.
