I was outside of my son's school yesterday, waiting for him to be dismissed. The parents were all waiting in their cars, for the kids to come out, because of the heat (it was 105 here yesterday). A pregnant woman walked behind my car 10 minutes before dismissal and stood on the grass waiting for her child. I completely lost control of myself. I was so angry that she would go stand out in this heat and take any chances at all, not that it was harmful.
I know this was not logical and dare I say insane. I was just totally consumed with this instant uncontrollable jealousy and anger. It was like I totally lost control of myself and it wasn't me! I was completely in tears by the time I had to get out to get my son. What is happening to me?
Re: So I've turned into a raving lunatic...
I know...It just comes out of nowhere; the jealousy, sadness, anger. Anything can trigger it, especially a pregnant woman. It can and does make you feel crazy.
I'm sorry you are feeling this way, but I think it's normal to get set off by things like this. It's horrible, I know, but it's what we live with now. It sucks. I think with time it will be easier...maybe.
I'm so sorry. But know that being angry and jealous is a part of the grieving process you are totally normal. Hugs I am so sorry!!

I'm sorry you're feeling this way, but as the other posters said, it is normal. I remember going to Outback about a month after our loss and this pregnant woman came in and sat in the booth across from us. I had no idea who she was or what her story was, and she wasn't doing anything dangerous, she just looked happy. I wanted to scream at her that her baby could DIE just like mine did so I could wipe that smile off her face.
I didn't. But I wanted to. ((HUGS))
