One of my biggest faults...

 Hi Everyone! Happy Tuesday!

One of my biggest faults I think is a lot of times I feel like I am the only one who is suffering, that everyone else I meet has this perfect little life where everything goes according to plan and there is no pain or sadness. Logically, I know it's not true, but it feels that way a lot of the time.

So here's an interesting story.

I've been going to a little mom's group here in town, so the kids and I can have some socialization. I went a few times before I lost Hunter, but I was so sick with my pregnancy it was hard to get out. I've been going a lot more since.

Anyway. There's one mom there that I met for the first time when I ventured out after losing my baby. She was standoffish to me...it was kind of strange...I just figured she didn't like me for some reason...

Then last week I went to the monthly baby loss group. And she was there. (Albuquerque is a small world, I'm finding out.)

Turns out, she's not unfriendly, nor does she have anything against me. Instead, she just lost her baby and she is brokenhearted and it's not the easiest thing in the world for her to talk to new people. Especially since she had no idea I'd just been through the same sort of thing.

A good reminder for me...things are happening all around me that I just don't know about, just as most people I meet don't know what's happening wth me.

And...on a somewhat separate note, I am falling apart this week over Hunter. I've been doing pretty OK in general, but the past couple days have been SO HARD and I don't know why, unless it's work stress that is triggering things...

XOXO
