I'm reading this and thinking, "Wow!" I couldn't have said it better. Thanks so much for advocating and expressing these thoughts so well. I wish some of my friends could read this too. Maybe then, they'd understand better... I know that you wrote this awhile ago, but I just have to say how much I agree with you. I’m reading this and thinking, “Wow!” I couldn’t have said it better.

I had the unfortunate experience of sitting a an office Thanksgiving Dinner an having 5 of the six women I used to work with ALL announcing their pregnancies – one by one. It was like some sort of infertility Twilight Zone.

I was sitting in the middle – staring at them in shock. I tried to look happy – I passed out hugs – and I wanted to sink into the floor. They were all due around the time my child would have been due if I hadn’t miscarried.

Most of them were not close friends, so they didn’t know of my trials… Whew, it was a mind-blowing experience.

For the ones that did know of my situation, they looked alternatly chagrined and happy. I think some people caught on, because those two people kept looking at me furtivly.

Can I link back to this from my blog? I’ve been thinking about writing on this very subject.
