Loss talk

[Deleted User]

I never told DH or anyone else about my CP. I pushed it away and refused to acknowledge. I don't really talk about now.

That wasn't healthy. I regret that.

Hugs to everyone.

Jesus, some of you all's friends. I am grateful to have a friend IRL who had a loss last year (and due any day now!) and she is a good source of support and hope.

Eta: I didn't tell many friends because I almost felt guilty making them share my sadness or something. Again, this is why having you guys is just so great.

I should really try to find a way to make my name taggable.

You guys are so amazing for dealing with "friends" like that and lack of support. It is such a tough road. So many of your stories I have read in awe. You are some strong ladies!

I too felt a bit of mixed emotions about the remembrance day. To be honest I pretended it didn't happen. Some days I feel like that's what I have to do. Then I feel some guilt.The thought of "outing" my loss on facebook crossed my mind. Just to let everyone know that this does happen to all sorts of women and you don't have to hide it. But I don't think DH would have been on board. I also didn't want to rub my cousin the wrong way. She has had a lot of fertility struggles and several rounds of IVF and 3 losses. Most people don't know about her struggles.

OMG @Hwakward I'm so sorry that someone said those things.
Super huge ((((((HUGS!!!))))) @Marla. If you ever need to open up we're all here for you.
@Avswolf I'm so sorry that happened to you. You're a kind, beautiful, and extremely strong woman. I love you.

You are not weak @Avswolf. Strength is the ability to move forward no matter how hard life pushes back at you. You are not weak. Nothing about you is weak whatsoever. You might not feel strong but the fact that you get up each morning and push forward shows that you are. You continue to live a life full of kindness even after all of that. You're amazing. You could have broken a long time ago but you're still here. You're a great mom, a fantastic friend, and a damn strong woman.
