Yes. Every once in a while I am tempted to say something mean or inappropriate (like to the group in my class who were complaining about how their 8-month olds weren't sleeping). It would be so easy to say something like -- wow, that must be so hard, how do you get through it??
But then they'd think I was totally nuts instead of sort of nuts, like I am.
It's a horrible feeling to want someone to feel bad the way you do, like that would take away your pain.
I'm so sorry you are feeling badly. I know those feelings all too well. I hope you are able to do something for yourself this weekend like read a book or take a long nap. Sometimes it helps. Thinking of you...
I'm here because it seems to be helping. I am mother to a toddler and we lost our beautiful daughter on Mother's Day 2007 because of cord compression . Ironically, the day she died in the womb, May 12, was her "exact" due date(40 weeks). So many things like this I cannot explain. We welcomed our 'rainbow baby' Jan 2010!

I'm sorry, missing. I know exactly how bitter feels. It's awful. It's just awful. XO.

It all just sucks. I'm sorry.
Bitterness, Anger, Rage, Contempt -they all play an ugly road in this hellish grief.
So sorry it is closing in on you today.

The knife is in a nice portion of herbed goat cheese, right?
I'm feeling like I'm a bitter place too, lately. Wonder what gives.
((hugs)) Hang in there. xoxo
I know the feeling well. Hoping it passes for you soon.
That image is spot on...hang in there
I lost my 10 year son July 2007 and have experience with grieving. I think of a verse from the Natalie Grant song called, "Held"
"This hand is bitterness...
we want to taste it..
let the hatred ..numb...
our sorrows"
The hard part comes next.
"The wise hand...opens slowly
to lilies of the valley..and....
tomorrow."
