They will never understand
This weekend we went to a wedding. A friend of the groom, whom we are also friends with has the most bizarre family...I'm not sure why his cousin decided she would like to speak to me (she has a bit of an I am better than you attitude), but she did. We began talking about Kasey and my husband and I's relationship and how it's very hard and there have been many days where I have quit. The only reason we are still married is because he wont give up. I love him dearly(we are not getting divorced), but I have a hard time coping some days and that seems like its the best option. I know many can relate to my feelings. She could not fathom why we would get divorced and if we did how much baggage I would have bringing into another relationship... SERIOUSLY lady... I just got up and went to the dance floor with the girls. Some people don't understand and never will. Losing a child is something you don't get over or past.

I've learned that even those close to you will never understand. Unless they've walked in our shoes, the shoes of a mother who has lost her child they will never understand. Its a lonely world....*hugs*
ReplyDeleteYou are so right-they will never understanding. And that has got to be one of the most frustrating things. Feeling like not only don't they understand but they are also judging-makes my skin crawl!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you :)
Just came across your blog! You are a strong women and I encourage you to continnue and fight back to those that don't understand. I will put you on my prayer list and continue to pray for the healing and courage to get through each day. I have a blog, but it is private. I would love to hear from you and be there for you, you can email me if you want at steph41581@hotmail.com and then I will add you to view my blog so we can keep in touch. May God wrap you in his blankets of love today!
ReplyDeleteNicolle,
ReplyDeleteHang in there! This is such a tough journey with all its ups and downs. You are so right in that those who haven't lost a child don't understand and they never will. It's a blessing to them, but a curse to us because we feel even more alone in that our friends/family haven't been through it so they can't truly empathize. I wish you and your husband all the best.
