Man Whose Wife Died at Childbirth Ponders Giving up Baby until He Sees Her Texts with a Friend
Michael sat in the therapist’s office, gripping his hands together. The birth of his son should have been the happiest moment of his life, but it was marred by the loss of Emma. Her sudden death during childbirth had shattered him. For months, he’d been consumed by grief and unanswered questions.
“I just can’t understand why,” Michael whispered, the weight of it all crashing down. “Why did she die?”
The therapist, Dr. Rogers, leaned forward. “Sometimes, grief leads us to search for answers, even when there are none. But have you ever considered there might be more to the story?”
Michael frowned. “What do you mean?”
Dr. Rogers looked at him carefully. “I did some digging. Emma’s death wasn’t an accident. It was intentional.”
His blood ran cold. The room spun. “What? Are you saying she…?”
“She wanted out,” Dr. Rogers said quietly. “And she planned it. You weren’t meant to know.”
A chill settled in Michael’s bones as everything he’d believed in—the love, the life they’d built together—began to unravel.
