I hate when people dont understand how painful it is to be around children after a loss, and then having to explain WHY you are not comfortable going is even harder. nothing worse than feeling judged while you are already feeling so low. i have made the mistake of not wanting to hurt other's feelings and attending such functions, which usually resulted in my crying for days afterwards. its better to not put yourself into a situation that will just trigger more painOnce A Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15974149780531831971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736556300599496415.post-25260919613500473752009-07-21T11:27:24.140-05:002009-07-21T11:27:24.140-05:00I'm glad your hubby handled it and your father...I'm glad your hubby handled it and your father-in-law understood.<br /><br />~ICLWKristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10791317184998122691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736556300599496415.post-12663092646088616592009-07-19T10:44:18.710-05:002009-07-19T10:44:18.710-05:00I have to say, that's a great little dialogue....I have to say, that's a great little dialogue.
