[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, OP. I didn’t think this thread would be so cold toward you. I think the usual advice people give in this kind of situation is that everyone will have their own trial at some point, but that’s not really how life works. You are surrounded by other people’s joy at a time when you are hurt and emotionally AND have physically suffered. That’s awful. Having surgeries and the pain as a physical reminder of loss must be an especially difficult form of grief.

I haven’t experienced your situation but have experienced being the last one to reach a milestone phase of life. It is hard because by the time it is your “turn”, oftentimes everyone else has moved on. I had a tiny wedding by choice because I knew my friends were burnt out on showers and bachelorette trips and had moved on to big houses and babies. It would have felt hollow to try to replicate the celebrating that I did for them and they couldn’t reciprocate because they had new responsibilities. I do still feel sad that I never got my turn, and that was for something as shallow as bride stuff.

So no advice, really. I just wanted to validate you and agree that it must be hard and lonely. [/quote]
