Consumer Rants

1. Thank you Walgreen's for putting every possible item related to the uterus in one aisle. Because I need to be reminded that when I'm picking up the personal care items on the right, it means I won't be needing the baby care items on left. Thanks for the break down in public, guys. That's real sensitive.

2. Wendy's, when I ask for a baked potato with sour cream and chives instead of fries, the butter is IMPLIED. Who the hell eats a baked potato with just sour cream? Also, if I'm goin' through the drive through, I'm probably gonna need napkins in the bag too!

Comments:
I understand your sensitivity to such matters as relates to item No. 1, dearest, but really, I don't think Walgreens has it out for you. You need to be strong, and part of that means confronting all the innocuous things in daily life that remind you of your loss. Because, really, the only other option you have is shutting yourself away from the world, and that's no way to live, either.
 
Almost all the stores do that, 'cept Wal-Mart. I can't quite figure out why they do that. It is insensitive, and I never thought about it. Sorry you had to endure that.
Grief is like that though. Little things will remind you. And it's ok to cry, if only for a bit. The pain will subside.
I think it's good you're talking about it, that's part of healing.
Anger at random things like Walgreens is a normal part of healing too. I'm sure it never occured to the person who thought they were making it "convenient" for women to lump all these things together didn't have a clue. It was probably a guy :)
 
T., I've been there. Baptisms at church for a while were guaranteed to send me out of the building, sobbing. And the parish we were at at the time I was at my lowest had one every Sunday during Mass.

A few of the other Eucharistic ministers knew what was up, and they'd intercept me and give me a shoulder to sob on.

I can tell you it will get better eventually. I can talk about my five miscarriages time and time again now with nary a tear. But it takes time. Lots of it.

A successful pregnancy helps, too.

Just remember, I'll take calls, any time, any day. Next time you are about to break down, use my cell. I'll talk to you, and give you a cyber shoulder to sob on.

Hugs, sweetie.
 
I'm really sorry you're having to go through this :( Cry as much and whenever you need, and always feel free to call if you just want to rant, vent, or be distracted from the world.
 
And we wait for you to blog again...
 
Hellooooooooooooo?
 
Two months and counting...
