In the sixth month of my pregnancy my son was born.
He lived for thirty minutes.
Nobody else ever knew him. There are no shared memories, no photographs anyone else keeps, no one who says "do you remember". Everything that exists of him exists only in me.
This book is not about that one day. It is about what happens when a life of thirty minutes goes on lasting for the rest of yours. About the congratulations you hear in the corridor, for other people. About a birth certificate and a death certificate with the same date on them. About coming home to a house where a room was waiting.
And above all it is about the years after. The birthdays that are not birthdays. The question of how many children you have, and what you answer — it depends on who is asking. The moment everyone else goes back to normal, except you.
I am not going to tell you that it passes. It has not passed for me. I have learned to live around it, and that is something else.
For the mother who still thinks about it every day, and no longer dares tell anyone.
