I thought I was ok with the loss, but due date hit me hard. (Loss mentioned obviously)

KateLouise · December 2014

Our due date was a week ago. I bought a bottle of wine for me and DH, because I wanted us to do just a little something to acknowledge the day.

All along I've said I'm pretty ok with the loss itself, but the nature of it was scarey. I said I was disappointed and sad, but ok.

But this week has pretty much sucked. A woman at work had her baby. DH told me how glad he was that we didn't have a baby around giving us sleepless nights (when I burst into tears and pointed out what that sounded like he was all apologetic, but it still stung) and on the weekend I was in an elevator with a woman and the sweetest little 4 week old baby.

I'm not unhappy for these people. I wish them all the happiness in the world with their little ones. I just wish I had a little newborn to adore. Sigh.

I'm so sorry. I am right there with you. My EDD was Saturday and there was a lady at work who everybody was joking would "deliver right there". During this discussion someone asked if I had kids and I said no. Then she asked "why, you don't want kids?" and I burst into tears. Really professional there.
Sorry for the thread jack but I definitely get it.

I'm so sorry, I think your feelings and reactions are normal; never know when that lightning bolt of pain will hit. I wish you continued healing and peace.

I understand what you are going through. It is tough, especially the first time. I can't say it gets easier but it becomes more bearable. At least it does for me but I still get emotional about it. Hugs

Thanks ladies, I appreciate the support.

@tlc35 I'm sorry you're having a rough time too! Ugh at thoughtless co-workers, you'd think people would know not to ask that kind of thoughtless question.

So sorry things are so hard right now @KateLouise‌ and @tlc35‌.

sending hugs

KirstenAlecia · December 2014

So sorry

Must be hard. I hope you are doing better now (I'm getting to posts around here a little late)

I hope that when we come to that time next year for me I will be able to sail though it as its my mother and my nephews birthday.......maybe it will since i can focus on that. However i think it will also serve as a reminder.
