I recognize how hard it is for you. <BR/><BR/>I know you said that participating in their lives is the only option for you, but I would like to encourage you to reconsider. <BR/><BR/>It was about a year after we lost our son that I stopped attending every event. I can't tell you how liberating it was to realize I could say no. I still don't think people really understood how hard it was, but they did stop trying to convince me to attend. Even if I do attend, I will often tell the host that I may leave early if it becomes too emotionally difficult.<BR/><BR/>You are in survival mode and you need to take care of yourself because no one else can.Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01215000341567119958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4000274955591307998.post-10877452764404760522007-10-11T20:51:00.000+10:002007-10-11T20:51:00.000+10:00I just read the whole of your blog.

You describe the horror of your situation so well I sit here feeling like I've been hit. I'm dealing with IF too, but my heart goes out even more to you. And you're so honest about how angry it makes you; I'm angry too, and punch drunk from all of the pregnancy announcements and friends I no longer connect with; it's comforting to know someone else knows the extremes. Thanks for writing all of this down, it does help others you know.

I wish we got a medal of honor at each event. Just someone to recognize us. HUGS!<BR/><BR/>You aren't alone with the many stupid fertiles surrounding you. I have swarms of them over here too. IT SUCKS!<BR/><BR/>I just read a chapter in a book (21 most effective prayers of the bible). One of the chapters was about Hannah and how she prayed, God Remember Me. I have been praying that. Just remember me. I feel left out and lost. Then he gives me this verse twice in a week, Psalms 35:15, My time is in Your hands. I am not sure if it gives you any hope but it sure helps me.<BR/><BR/>HUGS!Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14570018200281339937noreply@blogger.com
