Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

5 things I am thankful for

I am having such a hard time staying positive right now.  Monday seems like it will never get here.  In an effort to remind myself that I do have a good life, I am making a list of the things I am most thankful for this year.  No matter what next week brings, I know there will be better days ahead.

1) My wonderful husband.  He is my rock, my everything, and I absolutely could not have gotten through these last few days without his love and support.

2) Family and friends that love us.  Even though I can't bring myself to talk to anyone yet, or be around them today, I know they are here for me, and will still be there whenever I am ready.

3) A beautiful home we can finally call "ours".  And that brings me to number 4...

4) A job that I love, that pays for said home.  I work with great people, and I never have to worry about being bored at work.

5) The fact that I remembered I had a leftover pizza box in my oven before it preheated all the way to 425.  Sure, the box is a little singed, and the pizza in it a little smoky, but at least I didn't set the house on fire. 

Re: 5 things I am thankful for

  • OH! Glad you caught the pizza! 1. My DH. He is simply the best. 2. Our new home. While it is stressful, moving and unpacking has given me a positive project to work on. 3. My furbabies. They give me a real reason to get out of bed. I have to let the dog out and feed my furry crew. They also keep my feet warm and are great cuddlers. 4. My sister and my brother. Sister and BIL let me spend time with my beautiful nieces every week. And they all came over at the last minute to help me pack when I thought I was going to lose it. 5.A flexible work schedule. I work from home a lot and make my own schedule when I am on the road which has allowed me to be productive at work while still having time to grieve. Happy Thanksgiving!

  • 1.  I will have to agree with you guys, DH he is always there for me and listens to me, takes care of me when I don't feel I can, he is an amazing guy and I am lucky to have him.

    2.  My dog.  She is always there, lays with me in bed and keeps me warm when I'm by myself.

    3.  My job. My boss is the best boss in the world!!  Hes just filling in for some one right now, but I don't think I couldn't have made it through the first days back to work.   I have a physical job and when I came back I couldn't do it so instead of me having to tell everyone why I couldn't do my job he made it sound like he couldn't do his job and needed my help with office work.

    4.  My friends and family.  They let me talk when I wanted to, let me cry when I needed to and let me be alone when I needed to.  They are my rock and my support system.

    5.Life. Everyday life that gets in the way distracts you for a little bit and lets you being to heal.  I wouldn't have thought that a month ago but it has gotten easier (little by little).
