Your comments on their post rang so true. I’m 2 years in, 3 miscarriages and a precancerous molar pregnancy deep. My dad died the day after I got married during a prolonged cancer treatment gone wrong and even that was easier than navigating recurrent pregnancy loss. my soul is exhausted on every level. surviving Mother’s Day and every single female friend being pregnant/ giving birth while I wait (having started trying years before most of them) is the most excruciating thing I’ve ever experienced. Thank you for sharing how difficult this has been for you as well - it is deeply validating ❤️
Savannah - I'm thinking of you. Something about pregnancy loss is it's ambiguous loss so I've found it so hard and almost confusing to grieve. And even harder for people in my community to know how to grieve alongside me. My advice to you that you absolutely didn't ask for is to protect your peace and create the space you need during this time.
Thank you so much Rosie. I’ve felt the same way with regard to the ambiguity, having to create space for ongoing grief in a way that no one else can really teach you. And figuring out how to be in community with it has also been a challenge. Thank you so much for your advice, it is wise counsel and I deeply appreciate it. I am rooting for your happy ending after loss too ❤️
