Oops! Hit done on accident. Anyhow, I’m really glad you are in this place right now. It’s hopeful in a different way, isn’t it?

For so long, I dreamed of a baby for you, but now, even more so, I dream of peace for you, however you can find it. This post tells me you are finding more of it, despite the unfulfilled wish for a bigger family. To press on, to hold tight to the silver lining and move forward with acceptance but without giving up will give you all that much more of an examinsight to guide and support your daughter

Better than keeping it in.

Cry every day? A bit of a dramatic way of putting it, no?

Then again, it recognizes that letting go is so very, very hard.

Not for the first time do I wish that we lived closer. I’d love to go for coffee with you.

Too true.

Every single word you have written I have felt but couldn’t quite put in words. Thank you for giving me words to these feelings.

Of course it’s generous of you to give your time to a support group. But haven’t you already done your bit?
Can you scale down if you don’t want to quit altogether?

Can you step back a little for awhile? If you wanted to go back to it later, you can. But it seems like you need to take yourself away from it for now. I know I needed to step away, too.

I couldn’t do it anymore – I’m too bitter, and too jaded, and it’s just too much of a reminder of what I don’t have. I can’t even bring myself to congratulate people when they announce pregnancies. Maybe that makes me an jerk, but it’s just too much for me.

I’m in the same place. Wish it wasn’t so. For both of us.

I can write about how I want to have another one and how I think about it a lot but at the same time I’m ok because even though I want more, I am a parent and still get to do most things parents get to do. Lather, rinse and repeat.
