TTC After a Loss

Why is it so much harder at night?

Everything seems harder. And then I review people's responses in my head and get re-hurt by things said. For example, my SIL lost her little love 20 weeks in on her pregnacy. I can't even imagine the pain. But when I told her about our second miscarriage she didn't even really say anything. No condolences or anything. Later on she mentioned they were trying again and she said, "if I had miscarriages over and over like you had, I would still try again but if I went through another loss like I did, I wouldn't try again." Yes, I understand her pain was horrifying but that doesn't mean my losses were easy breezy either. It's 10:00 so I guess my sensitivity is heightened since it's late. But that memory is life a fire in my mind right now and it hurts. I hurt a lot. And I guess I'm here just to write it out because there's no one I can talk to about what I am feeling right now. So here it is, spit out in to the technological stratosphere...

  • You have a lot of time to think at night. The mind roams and brings you to places you don't wanna be. I do it too. *hugs*

    Night time is terrible, just way too much time to think. I'm so sorry you are going through a rough time. What your sil said sounds so insensitive. I'm sure her loss was terrible but to compare the intensity of a loss is silly and so hurtful. (hugs)

    I'm so sorry you had a rough night. What your SIL said was insensitive. She thinks her pain is worse than yours, and while I'm sure she is hurting and scared, it doesn't give her the right to minimize your pain. There's no points for "one upping" pain. Big (hugs) and I hope you can surround yourself with more positive people!

  • Nights are harder, but what your SIL said was out of line.  I understand she's hurting, but she has zero right to minimize your pain in relation to her own.  That's cruel.  ((hugs))

  • I'm so sorry. I also feel like everything is worse at night. A little while ago, right after we lost RG, DH had to literally drag me sobbing out of bed and take me outside so I could breathe. 

    Things are just worse because your mind is allowed to think about things. I totally feel what you said about the memory burning in your mind and making you hurt.

    Your baby was a baby as much as any, and your pain is real too. I hope today is more peaceful.

  • I don't think your being over sensitive for being upset about her comments. I find what she said highly offensive.

  • Thank you ladies. It just felt good to write out the pain with my SIL because frankly it wont do any good to bring it up to her. Thank you for your encouragement
