its hard- damn hard
my cousin who i see frequently with the same last name as me and lives in the same suburb as me as well was due the same week I was!
Her little girl is now 3 years old and i still think to myself that we should have a little one the same age she is as well.
Its funny as she is getting older the pain is going when i see her, and it is replaced with an invisible bond that i have with her instead. I dont think that will ever go.
It was really tough when she was pg and i wasnt anymore. But she respected what i had been through and gave me space. She also understood why i couldnt go to her baby shower either! That was just being cruel to myself to go.
personally i found it harder to deal with the pg annoucements when I was going through IVF and it wasnt working . We did 7 cycles before we had our angel! I guess because other people didnt know what we were going through and i didnt have a chance to prepare myself beforehand for their annoucements.
Its damn hard to be happy for someone when all you want to do is rip their eyeballs out with jelously!
be kind to yourself hun, surround yourself with people who will protect you - you are fragile at the moment- and give yourself all the time you need to heal.
You may heal in time but there will always be a scar.
