Another bad day

Friday, July 27, 2012

Well I am counting today as day 2...Day 2 of taking my life back !

Today I wasn't home so I couldn't do I regular scheduled dvd workout like I had planned to but I knew that I couldn't use that as an excuse or I would get off track again. So I got my mom up and we went for a walk. Ended up doing 2 miles. Not fabulous but better then if I had stayed at her house and done nothing.

Eating today however wasn't great...had my shake for breakfast, a Cobb salad for lunch (which I didn't eat all of) and then we had Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner. While the pizza was thin crust and a veggie lovers...I know the cheese and creamy garlic sauce didn't help.

Today was I down day as far as my mood. I was told that a friend (who was pregnant at the same time as I was) just had her baby. I knew this day was coming....I kept thing WHY? Why didn't I get to keep my baby? What could I have done differently? Even tho I know the answer to that last question...today hurt. My heart is heavy and I feel so hopeless. Its weird at the same time because I KNOW that I am blessed. I have 4 beautiful girls and a loving husband who does so much for me. I honestly don't have reason to be down but I just can't help myself. Is it selfish? PErhaps. I just feel like the black hole that I find myself in is slowing shallowing me whole.

    It doesn't matter how many babies you already have, hurt is hurt. Loss is loss and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.

Have you searched SP for a team that has also had a loss such as yours? You will be amazed at the teams here on SP. There is at least one I'm sure, where you can go and discuss your feelings with people that truly understand what you are going through because they too are going through it. That is what I did when I joined. I had just lost my oldest sister to lung cancer. The team I found was amazing.

You can do this, and know that you are never alone.

    Oh honey... Selfish? You? No way. Grief comes and goes like the tides - when we get over one loss another will come. Never be ashamed of sorrow - the depths of your sorrow create the well from which your joy will flow like an abundant river. Blessings become less precious without the pain to compare them to. Don't judge yourself, be as kind, loving, understanding, and forgiving with the grief inside you as you have always been towards others.

Prayers, hugs, and all my love...

    It's not selfish to feel that way. It's good you can see the ways you're blessed, that's important, but it's okay to be sad at times, too. *hug*

Good for your for adapting and going out for a walk when you couldn't do your DVD and could have easily skipped working out. That counts for a lot!
