At one point she leaned over and said "Don't you think the Universe is trying to tell you something?" She, of course, had a child out of wedlock that she was unable to parent and <I>her</I> parents have custody of that child. But I guess the Universe was ok with that?

Hmmm. They weren't trying to be hurtful; that was how they felt.Midlife Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07833139128928841397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-899645185098946092008-10-03T01:55:00.000-07:002008-10-03T01:55:00.000-07:00Argh!

I just typed a comment and lost it. <BR/>Let me start over. <BR/><BR/>You know I'm beyond an open book. <BR/>I so wish that you could invite me over for dinner. I promise the topic would come up and not only would I share my story, but I'd correct some notions they had (IMO) wrong. <BR/><BR/>The thing that really gets me is the religious folks who presume to know God's plan. <BR/><BR/>God only wants us to have things that come easily? <BR/><BR/>I think I've read a different bible. <BR/><BR/>I guess Jesus should have just given up trying to save people since it didn't happen easily.. <BR/><BR/>Crazy..Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150585209390355119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-53914221622636425032008-09-30T17:48:00.000-07:002008-09-30T17:48:00.000-07:00Even if you can't share with mom and others, you a...Even if you can't share with mom and others, you always have us. We're here for you. I am sharing a website I came across that made me laugh (below). The woman who wrote this blog also wrote a book called Infertile and Addicted to Hope. It provided some levity and hope for me in what can be a sad and lonely journey.<BR/><BR/>take care<BR/><BR/>http://www.tertia.org/so_close/2004/05/how_to_be_good_.html?cid=127465630#comment-127465630Lisa DGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02134785866812104866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-22175574053997400352008-09-29T17:41:00.000-07:002008-09-29T17:41:00.000-07:00I too wish I could be more open about issues of lo...I too wish I could be more open about issues of loss and infertility. I think that if this were a unified movement, then maybe as a group we could help to dispel the skewed perspectives on it. But that takes so much more than what I have to give at this moment. We are all too busy coping to deal with being spokespeople and handling the silly and hurtful comments. As I've said, one day I will speak out loud, but until then, I'm faced with the same ignorances as you've described. It's sad. :(Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06085283320884411888noreply@blogger.com
