I Know She Ment Well...

This is an email I got from my mother in law today.

I was sorry to hear that your pregnancy was not to be. You and Jake are young…you’ll have another. You should’ve came down yesterday with Jake. I hope you don’t think that I’m “angry” or upset with you. By all means, I’m not and neither is Dan. I just wanted you to know that we’re thinking about you and hope you are all right.

For the most part it is sweet, and dripping with concern. Which to be honest is a surprise. Picture Roseanne as your Mother In Law, and you being "Mark" well thats about how well she liked me until about oh 3 years ago or so. Anyway...

You'll have another really peaves me. How do you know? How can you say that? WHY would you say that? There is NOTHING that is normal about this situation...its not even over yet, and you are already planning the next grand child? Please. I don't even know if I ever want to have unprotected sex again. You will have another...please.

I am over reacting I know...but that line just bugs me...

Ugh - SO sorry you have to deal with that. My thoughts are with you right now.

I wish families would take the time to understand how a miscarriage feels. Just because we can't see our precious child doesn't make it any less of a loss. You can't wake up the next day and "feel all better".
