People are so oblivious sometimes! The exact thing happened to me when I had my miscarriage, I had a coworker who got pregnant at the same time as me and after I lost mine she just kept talking and talking about her pregnancy and it was like CANT YOU SEE THIS IS A SORE SUBJECT FOR ME?? And then when her son was born she started posting pictures constantly to fb and I eventually removed her because who wants the constant reminder of what you lost? But people are too self-absorbed to understand. It sucks. *hugs*
You're so right. And I think people who haven't been through it especially just don't get it. I'm sorry that the same thing happened to you, Crystal! *hugs*!
Oh man, JOY is SO tough. I mean, I have LITERALLY taken a class called "AWAKENING JOY" (which lasts for ten months!) for several years out of the last decade or so, and I still don't think I know what exactly joy is. I think it's extremely elusive, like a rare species of feeling that pops up at times and then hides away for a while. And it's hard to remember what it feels like until it pops up again. And you cannot summon it. But I do know I have experienced it because when I do feel it, it's like a lightning bolt. But I think part of the beauty of pure joy is that it's *not* an everyday thing

Oh, wow, your response made me so happy (genuinely!) Thank you- I'm so glad to know my blabbing isn't annoying you. I'm sort of obsessed with human emotion, and I think a big part of that is because for most of my childhood, I was told exactly how to feel : "be brave", "be a big girl", "be grateful it's not worse", etc. And I also didn't want to make it worse for my parents when I was hurting from the medical stuff, because I knew it was killing them inside to have to watch me go through it
