Jenifer's emotion when talking about her miscarriages

If Jenifer is so upset by this song, it is because it reminds her of difficult and intimate moments. “It's a lament, an apology too, he asks his son's forgiveness for not having been there at that time. It's a subject that I understood later and even more when I became a mother.. I have three sons, I dared to imagine putting myself in his place. If I lost one of my children, would I be able to survive? I don't know“, she confessed. “It's a song that allows you to externalize pain and sorrow. It feels good to have a good cry.”continued Jenifer before revealing that she had suffered several miscarriages. “I had this feeling, while listening to this song, of having lost a loved one. I actually wrote a song about it… I never managed to sing it. But it’s a subject that affects a lot of women”she said, moved. “I think about it, but not every day. Sometimes it comes back to me and it has been very intense pain. This song came to accompany me in these pains. In any case it brings me back to these pains. She has the power to console me. I tell myself that there is something more terrible than what I experienced.”.
