[quote=Anonymous]Thanks, everyone -- this is the OP. Thank you for sharing your experiences. It's comforting to hear from others who've been through this. And it confirms for me that I'm doing all the things I should be, and that (ugh) I just have to ride this damn grief out. I am seeing a therapist (someone I used to see years ago) and it's been very helpful to re-connect with her, especially since she already knows me well. I'm trying to just roll with the punches, to accept that some days will be okay and some will be crappy. And I'm trying as best I can to remember that it will get better with time. (It doesn't help that as we're going through all this, my own chronically ill mother is slipping rapidly into dementia, which has been incredibly painful to witness on so many levels. It breaks my heart that even if I do ever have a baby, at this point my mom will never really know that child and the child will certainly never know his/her grandmother.) On Friday evening when I posted, I was having one of those despairing moments that you all are probably very familiar with. Thanks for letting me express that anguish on these pages. It helps to have this supportive and understanding outlet. I've observed that DCUM is not always the kindest place, but I have to say that it has been a huge source of generosity and comfort for me these past months.[/quote]
