Lillian (5yo): Aunta I know the baby in your tummy died. It's really sad.
Me: Yes. It did and it is really sad.
Followed by a lot of questions: Did you see it? How big was it? What happened to it? And then...
Lillian: Do you want another one?
Me: Yes but I don't think there will ever be one in my tummy again.
Lillian: It would be nice if you got one for your birthday.
The conversation made me feel happy, sad, want to cry and loved all at the same time. She remembers our baby and feels free to talk about it because she is so young and isn't scared to mention it.
