‘You didn’t get to feel the comfort of my arms or breast. You didn’t get to look up and see my face or your daddy’s face.
‘We didn’t get to see your first smile, your first tooth, your first giggle. We didn’t get to clap and cheer when you first sat up or pulled yourself to stand,’ they wrote.
‘So many firsts that we will be missing for the entirety of our lives.’
The pair explained that they were sharing their post to bring awareness and reduce the stigma of miscarriages and pregnancy loss.
‘At the end of this life, we all die, some die earlier than others, some die before they get to take their first breath,’ the grieving couple wrote.
‘For many of us we get to experience this death and grief first hand, many many years before it’s our time. Death is the one sure thing, yet something that so many fear.
‘I invite you today to share this post to your story for my daughter’s birthday, helping to reduce the stigma of miscarriage/late miscarriage/still birth/tmfr [sic]/and infant death,’ they wrote as they listed various types of child loss, including TFMR or termination for medical reasons.
Last November, the couple, who are also parents to four-year-old son Stormur, revealed on Instagram that they had suffered a pregnancy loss.
