Regards, Loads of info!

I completely agree Michele. It’s taken me a long time to get there, but once I said how I felt, regardless of the response, I felt a little healed over.

Thank you for sharing Megan. It is so hard not to blame ourselves for what has happened. It is so hard not to wonder what we could have done differently. Grace is all I can think of to get through…to let go a little, all the things we’ll never know. And yes, we are ALL mothers the minute that test is positive.

This this this this this. Yes, to valedating all of our feelings of inadequacy and guilt. You are absolutely right that this needs to extend to ALL areas of life. But if we can’t expect others to do it for us, we can at least do it for ourselves.

Oh the guilt can creep in anywhere, can’t it? I’ve had friends who admitted they felt guilty that they got pregnant when we were having such a tough time. They didn’t even want to tell me. You are right. The best way to work through the guilt is to talk about it, and then it can dissolve a little, like a pill, instead of getting stuck. Just think what the world would be like without Ave and Charlie and Jonas and Cora? We need to talk and work through all our stuff so that they can take over and run the world better.

Thank you for sharing. It’s a hard place to be and to grieve when from the outside your life, to every one else, appears the same.
