forshelby, I'm very sorry for your loss. You have every right to be angry and I am disgusted at what you were put through.Years ago, a lovely woman I worked with told me she had her miscarriage at home and I was horrified - I'd always assumed it happened in hospital. Sadly, I know differently now. But to have to go through that at work, and answer phones, and deal with workmates, is terribly upsetting. I'm so sorry you had to go through this and glad you have a new manager who is understanding but it must be terribly difficult to see that person every day.
I had a different grief experience, but a similar response from workmates and a boss, that was very upsetting when I was the same age as you. Eventually I talked to my GP about it and had some counseling and it helped me to deal with it. There are some ignorant uncaring people in the world and there's nothing we can do about it but be loving and caring and completely not like them in our lives and in the way we treat others. Sadly, sometimes there is no other recourse and you just have to let it go in order to move forward yourself, as unfair as that feels. Your grief is more important than her lack of compassion. I hope you can find some peace with this.
Your kind words mean so much to me. Thank you so much for your wisdom. I am so sorry you had a similar experience, and you're right. There is nothing we can do except be loving and caring people, even in the face of such cruelty.
I am more at peace than ever after breaking my silence and telling my story a few days ago. A weight has been lifted, ever so slightly. I see daylight again, and it's mostly because of women like you taking the time to open your hearts to me. I am so grateful for the opportunity to speak with you..... you truly are a wise woman. I will remember what you've said whenever I feel angry and upset. Your words are a great comfort to me.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.... you are wonderful. From one mother to another.
