I wish there was an answer for you, but life sure throws some horrible stuff our way. I lost a baby so many years ago - while I was carrying her. Although I never got hives, I spent many years crying every day. This was a good post for me to read.

It's totally normal and is part of grief and survival.<br /><br />I lost a lot of friends over this however regret nothing....on this journey you do what you have to. I still find it painful to see a girl that she used to play with when she was alive. It's a constant reminder of what I'll never have....and I'm ok with that now.<br /><br />Thrilled that you are pregnant and I wish you every happiness on your journey.<br />with love<br />Diana xDiana Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17959587005117395783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831856940051820911.post-44453454517953495842012-01-06T08:38:50.850+00:002012-01-06T08:38:50.850+00:00You're right, no matter what she's thinkin...You're right, no matter what she's thinking, it doesn't matter.

I'm sure she invited you because she doesn't want to leave you out due to your grief. This way, she is allowing you to choose. If you feel like coming, she's surely glad to have you, but if not, she's not doing it to put pressure on you.

I still sense a bit of guilt, maybe, and I hope that will pass as you learn that YOU are the most important one here, and that it doesn't matter what others feel about how you choose to take care of yourself. It's not about them...and our truest, bestest friends and family members will understand and support all of us BLMs when we make choices that are best for ourselves.<br /><br />Hugs!Amy L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17013013895577702357noreply@blogger.com
