New Territories in Grief. September 21, 2016. This grieving is new territory and I am learning as it unfolds. I haven’t experienced loss of this magnitude before, haven’t felt this intensity of sadness. It’s really difficult. In some ways it’s even more difficult because we’re experiencing personal losses not generally understood or acknowledged by others. That makes me extra thankful for this blogging community.

Healing – 10 weeks after. September 28, 2016. The surgical menopause and adjustments to hormone replacement therapy actually seems to be going pretty well now. I’ve been having fewer and fewer headaches, fewer and fewer migraines. The headaches are shorter in duration and less severe than what I was experiencing as hormonal migraines for years before the surgery. I’m not having the scary side effects of all this I feared. Somehow my skin, hair, and nails are much improved! I got a juicer about a month ag...

Having Faith and Moving Forward – Adoption. November 20, 2016. Recently, my husband and I took some of our first steps together to get serious about adoption. This quote, supposedly from Joseph Campbell, has been a touchstone:. We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us. It really brought home how difficult this process will be, but worthwhile. No, I’m not expecting. Thanks for asking…. NYT Article on Japanese Art of Grieving Miscarriage →. I’m...

Frida Kahlo – A Heroine for the Sisterhood of Chronic Pain and Infertility. September 26, 2016. Frida also suffered infertility. She had several miscarriages and at least three medically needed abortions. She was never able to carry a child to term and have the child she longed for. I read an account that described the infertility as possibly resulting from the accident (see http:/ scienceillustrated.com.au/blog/science/news/understanding-frida-kahlos-fertility-problems/.

Pregnancy announcements from friends | snowdroplets
https://snowdroplets.wordpress.com/2016/10/10/pregnancy-announcements-from-friends
Pregnancy announcements from friends. October 10, 2016. Finding out my friends are pregnant is a tough tough thing. Over the last several years, it’s been one friend after another, and then their 2. Children. I was okay until finding out it really wasn’t going to happen for me. Then it got really tough. I’ve noticed it makes a real difference how the announcement is made. Tell me in person. Tell me in a direct and simple way. Remember my pain and heartache over infertility. Healing – 10 weeks after.

No, I’m not expecting. Thanks for asking… | snowdroplets
https://snowdroplets.wordpress.com/2016/10/16/no-im-not-expecting-thanks-for-asking
No, I’m not expecting. Thanks for asking…. October 16, 2016. I had a good day today, but difficult. We went to a friend’s child’s birthday party. At the party, I found out another friend is pregnant, with her third child. I heard an off-hand comment a few weeks ago that made me suspect they were pregnant, but I wasn’t sure. Then today, I could see she’s obviously pregnant, but I was never actually told. It’s okay. I’m guessing she thought I already knew. No, I’m not. Thanks for asking…. Liked by 2 people.
