[quote=Anonymous]Anger is a stage of grief and triggers are complex. My SIL who lost a baby while I was also pregnant, wasn't angry at ME for still being pregnant, but my pregnancy and all that goes along with that (shower, birth, etc) was immensely triggering for her and she went through a very long anger stage. We are two kind, empathetic adults so we were honest with each other the whole time and made it through with a great relationship still. But still, every year at my daughter's bday when we sing, I can see SIL staring off into space and I know she is thinking that she should also have a child celebrating their birthday and wondering what they'd be like. I'd imagine it's the same for your neighbor- seeing happy families is likely triggering for her and a stark reminder that she no longer has that which can absolutely bring on anger.[/quote]
