I am so, so sorry to hear about your loss. Thank you for sharing your story. You are absolutely right that many people out there are not childfree by choice. When researching the issue, I was actually surprised that this is the minority of women because the societal assumption seems to be that all women want children and those who don't have them must be victims of circumstance beyond their control. That said, I'm in no way trying to deny the pain of losing a child or not being able to have a child. Those stories also deserve to be heard.
