Anyone else feel this way?
I found out last night my brother in law is having a baby! All I feel is sad, because I desperately want that, but it's not in the cards for me. Overall I'm ok with this, but this news just punched me right in the gut and I don't know what to do. Will this grief ever go away? Will I always feel sad when I see other people having kids? I keep trying to focus on the positives in my life, things that I am able to do/enjoy because I am kid free. My relationship with my husband has honestly never been better. So why can't I stop crying over this?
Grief like this doesn’t always follow a clear path, and it’s normal to feel a mix of emotions, even when you try to focus on the positives. It’s okay to feel sadness and longing, even if there are other parts of your life that are going well. You’re processing something deeply personal and it’s perfectly natural to grieve that loss, even if you’re at peace with your situation overall.
@CheeryMango very true, the green eye monster in everyone of us & it's completely normal to feel that way, give yourself time to process things & don't blame yourself too much
