Silver Linings (some say they can tarnish, I say they, pat'ena)

[Sundrop]

I think this classifies as need to know info...

I'm afraid no can do.......besides, the truth probably isn't nearly as fascinating as what you've already imagined

Well. that and Pat may kill me if I talk about it publicly

((((((Todash))))) inner peace and love.

I've got a double one. It's pretty big.

Part 1: Recently I found out, after deciding that it wasn't ever going to happen for me and planning my life around that, that I was pregnant. At first I was upset. Really upset. I had my life PLANNED OUT. (I know. Silly.) Silver lining? My husband stepped up in a big way and was very supportive, so it didn't take me very long to accept and even embrace the idea, and that has brought us closer together.

Part 2: Yesterday I lost the pregnancy. I don't remember the last time I felt this sad about anything. I'm not a crier, but there was a lot of crying. Silver lining? Absolute clarity on what I want, and I feel so surrounded by love. Also, I can take ibuprofen again.

((((Todash)))) Sending you lots of love and light ♥

Thanks, all. I really am okay. I mean, it's going to be sad off and on for a while, but ... it will be okay. I was only about six weeks along; it could have been much worse both physically and emotionally.

 

[Todash]

By the way, PITH, I agree with everyone else: GOOD TO SEE YOU.

Oh no honey! I'm so sorry! It sounds like you've made peace with this tragedy and I'm happy for you about that, but it's so sad as well. Take it easy for a while and bask in that love.

My silver lining today is that because it's a work day, I got to see PITH's post.

So - I was just curious - what ARE some of the silver linings out there? Doesn't any one else have any?

A few years ago, my family was in a car accident--hit by someone who ran a red light. Car was totalled, threw my back out again, BUT emergency room visit showed BH had TREMENDOUSLY elevated blood pressure. Got home, had it checked again, and yep, terrible hypertension. He's treated it and is doing fine now, but without that accident the chances he'd be dead of a heart attack or stroke right now are very, very high.

So thanks, stupid person-who-thought-they'd-beat-the-light. Without you, I'd be one husband (and one kid) shorter.

I'm so sorry. But happy that you have found clarity.

I'm so sorry (((Todash,))) this is hugely painful to go through. I'm pleased you did have a silver lining though... take care, kiddo.

Glad he got that under control. I think I am borderline hypertensive at the moment but not high enough for meds. It worries me, though. I don't have lots of brain material to work with at the moment, so a stroke would really do me in!
