When I was pregnant a friend of a friend of mine was pregnant too. We were even due the same month. It was very exciting to have a "pregnancy buddy". We were more like acquaintances but when we found out that we were both basically on the same pregnancy schedule we started to talk more. She sent me e-mails and always asked how my appointments went and vice versa. Well, the day I sent her the e-mail that I had lost my baby was the last I ever heard from her. No "I'm sorry" no nothing from her. It really hurt my feelings. Well, tomorrow night our mutual friend is having a party and I know that she will be there. I've avoided being around her for the past month and I don't want to keep avoiding situations that I know she'll be at. I'm just so scared I'm going to see her growing belly and start crying. I don't know how I'm going to react and I'm really nervous. Any advice??
I'm glad you're getting out and about anyway. Take care!
she's due in a couple of weeks and i'm still struggling with making the decision about going to see her or not. its not her fault i lost my children, nor do i feel any anger that she is having a baby and i am not, but that doesn't change how sad i feel when i see her big belly. my heart still aches.. she reminds me of that. even though its not her fault in any way.
you could skip the party if the pain is still too fresh on your heart. i don't want you to miss out on anything.. but sometimes we just aren't ready to see certain people.. and there's nothing wrong with that. i hope whatever you decide goes well for you :o)
i understand how you feel -- it hurts when people don't even say "I'm sorry"... And I agree that if you feel like crying, then you need to cry -- everyone should understand why you're sad...
