Happy for them but sad for us

This isn't the first time this has happened but my very best friend emailed me to tell me that she is expecting her third baby.

I am beyond happy for them of course but it really stings and I feel really guilty about it so here I am at 4:55 pm on a Saturday feeling sorry for myself and drowning my sorrows in a big glass of wine. She is an amazing friend and has been an incredible support to me throughout my journey and of course I am thrilled for them but it is still so hard. Bless my husband's heart he is trying his best but I wanted to post it because I know you ladies understand. I am so grateful she emailed me so I can process it by myself.

I'm so sorry, it's so hard when you want to be happy for your friend but you're just so sad for yourself. I know exactly how you feel. ..hugs..

I also know exactly how you feel. My group of Nesties that I'm really close to are all in babytown right now. One just had a baby, one just found out she's pregnant and is due two days before Devon's EDD, and three more are expecting this year. I'm happy for them but really don't want to deal with all that anymore because I'm still so sad about Devon. It just doesn't seem fair.

I'm so sorry - I know how you feel, too. Lots of hugs.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. It is really hard to be happy for someone else while you are hurting so much.  I know that having guilt about your feelings can be strange feeling, but you need to take care of you first.    

Thankfully I have not had to deal with pregnancy announcements from friends, YET.  When the time comes, I don't know how I will feel or how I will handle it.
