I want to work on talking about the healing process because hopefully, that’s something that could be helpful to someone else. This is something that’s very common, which is something I didn’t know and I’m trying to do my part in actually bringing awareness to it because people don’t really realize how often it happens. At least if you’re informed, you can deal with what you have to deal with. It’s not like it won’t hurt you, but you at least you’d understand that this is something that can happen. And I wasn’t aware of that.
What I’d tell the next woman trying to heal after pregnancy loss is to go to therapy. Talk about what you’re feeling. Don’t bottle up your emotions, express them and just keep faith. Throughout this experience, there has not been one time where I’ve questioned God’s will. I’m healthy and able to get up and work towards my goals.
You cannot feel sorry for yourself because you’re experienced in life.
We jump for joy and thank God when things are great and expect that nothing is going happen in life that you don’t agree with or don’t think is fair. I think we all experience hardship and we all experience lessons and we need to be thankful for them all and be able to take the good and the bad from it. I can only say what my experience was, which is actually talking, actually crying and working through it. It’s nothing that anyone else can do.
You have to work through it. Know that you will get through it and that there will be brighter days ahead.
