Adapting to the new you (after loss)
Somebody asked me the other day, "How are you REALLY feeling?"
I guess the most honest answer is, "It depends on the day."🤷♀️
I am a very positive & optimistic person & I'm really doing my best to be ok... and MOST days I am.
But I'm human & some days are more challenging than others.
Yesterday I wasn't feeling well.
(Shout out to my seester-in-law for sitting with me & letting me vent over wine)
My body is still recovering from my last mc & that makes it harder for my MIND to catch up.
I think my hormones are finally balancing out again & it seems like I'll be starting my next cycle soon.
Which is bittersweet because it means my body will be ready to "try" again soon, but it's also a reminder that...well...
I'm NOT pregnant ANYMORE.
The recovery process brings along a mix of emotions & it's not a matter of just staying positive.
As you go through your day to day, you'll start to realize that you have triggers that didn't exist before... that make you feel things YOU DON'T WANT TO FEEL.
You are NOT the same person.
You've been changed & it will take time...
Time to get acquainted with the new you
Time to accept her &
Time to adapt
In the process be extra kind to yourself & be open to the new.
The changes in you require you to be WILLING so that through this experience you can grow & evolve.
That is what helps me feel like my pain is not in vain.
The knowledge that I can turn my sadness into strength...for me & for YOU.
I want you to know that you are not alone & we will get through this TOGETHER.
