One of the loneliest feelings is when you look around and realize so many of your family and friends are happy. Truly happy, even blissfully so. Their lives are working out as they'd planned, dreamed, hoped, worked so hard for and then there's you and your broken life, unfolding as a nightmare, in tatters, despite everything. Your {or in this case, our} long-awaited child is dead and she's never coming back. There is no fixing this, only learning to live with it and somehow moving forward. It is then that you wonder, as you wistfully examine their photographs shared to social media, their wide smiles showing both top and bottom rows of teeth, if your smile will ever again reach your eyes.
Oh so true!! I am in that phase now. Broken but not fully.. I am just waiting for my time to come.
ReplyDelete<3 So true. Sending you love.
ReplyDeleteSending a hug and hope that your smile reaches there once again.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you.
ReplyDeleteI am sure your smile will once again reach your eyes. Just give yourself time, and don't beat yourself up for not feeling it yet. Best wishes.
