Yo...You handled that situation with extreme grace. You're right--people just don't know what to say--it is incomprehensible to them. I think that when we say our truths--they can't handle it b/c what happened to us is their worst fear. That seems to be my experience anyway. <BR/><BR/>I, too, hate having to tell someone "what happened." I often try to avoid people who don't know simply b/c I am so exhausted with the emotion, on both sides, of telling our story. I even ran around a grocery store to avoid a young receptionist who left my ob practice right before my son was born. She saw me from afar and smiled and I kept alluding her--I just didn't want to discuss it and see that look you get when you tell someone.<BR/><BR/>Maybe it gets easier with the passing years?? I hope so anyway.sillyhummingbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11836596670296424973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24468572.post-1145635392234463462006-04-21T11:03:00.000-05:002006-04-21T11:03:00.000-05:00Good for you, you handled that very well.

She's an obnoxiously religious Baptist and she drove me insane with her 'God has his reasons' commentary. I begged my mom and uncle to get her out of my house. My uncle was kind enough to ask her to his house for a visit where he told her that she wouldn't be going back to my house but would be going home. It was such a relief. He handled everything. It was the nicest thing anyone did for me at that point. I'm still grateful.MBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10090873170016511220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24468572.post-1145551535738576212006-04-20T11:45:00.000-05:002006-04-20T11:45:00.000-05:00I wish that people could just say "I'm so sorry, t...I wish that people could just say "I'm so sorry, that is so horrible" but I guess that it is beyond their comprehension that a baby could die <I>for no reason</I>. Even though it happens. A lot.<BR/><BR/>You handled the situation with class, pure class. I congratulate you on your ability to speak after being asked that question - the first few times it happened to me I nearly passed out.delphihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07529670960180261467noreply@blogger.com
