Tonight, I was sitting in my room, sick with the flu watching the season premiere of Grey’s Anatomy with my husband. I love this show. I was so excited to watch it.
What I forgot, of course, was the way last season ended. I hate that I have to brace myself for these things, that I have to avoid this – but tonight I was unexpectedly punched in the stomach. I was blind-sided by seeing a woman lying in a hospital bed with her legs up in stirrups on television about to get a D&C.
I lost it.
I cried.
My husband held me without me having to say a word.
He knew.
I hate that I know I am going to have nightmares again tonight. I get them often and tonight I know they will come.
Painful.
Real.
Nightmares.
I hate that something as silly as a television show triggers them.
I have not healed from these 10 miscarriages. I don’t know if I ever will fully. I am tired of the pain but I know I have to feel it.
I just wish it wasn’t so hard.
OH Devan I am so VERY sorry. I am sorry you have to deal with this pain. I am sorry for your nightmares. I wish there was something I could say or do for you that would make it all better. But that loss is one that is hard to heal. Hugs to you.
I am so sorry. I admire your courage when you say, “I am tired of the pain but I know I have to feel it.” ((((Devan)))) Cyber hugs is the best I can do. I am glad to hear your husband was there to hug you.
You are an amazing soul. I’m so proud of you for being you and still standing.
