It is so odd to me how uncomfortable people are with loss and how people always want to sweep it under the rug. Many people, after my hysterectomy, were like "well, you are fine now!" And yes, it was a relief to be cured from cancer, but I wasn't exactly fine emotionally. But, I guess people just don't quite no how to deal or respond. <br /><br />And on the Ashley Judd issue, I too have found interesting how most of the time the harshest critics are other women, when we should be showing each other more support.Nicolehttp://nicoleciomek.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-77804965618570119562012-04-17T19:57:51.612-04:002012-04-17T19:57:51.612-04:00Oh I feel so sad for your workmate, the loss of he...Oh I feel so sad for your workmate, the loss of her twin so easily ignored by everyone. Focusing on the positive is good, but denying that woman her loss, her grief, is terrible.<br /><br />Ditto with the newspaper's headline on the family that are still grieving after 8 months. Good grief! (sorry) <br /><br />Thanks for all the interesting links. I particularly loved the quote: "It’s as if they are saying, “You are not getting a break: if I had to go through this, so should you.” How true.<br /><br />As for the dad-to-be's series. I suspect he is going to be a "born again Dad." Which is nice for him, but more of the same messages - "you're missing out if you don't have kids/there's something wrong with your relationship if you don't have kids/etc." Sigh.Malihttp://nokiddinginnz.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-73685751667302010502012-04-17T12:05:22.280-04:002012-04-17T12:05:22.280-04:00Years ago I was in a movie with Ashley Judd - I ne...Years ago I was in a movie with Ashley Judd - I never saw her snack on anything other than a handful of Triscuits - and she did so surreptiously like a squirrel. I also wondered if she were hungry.Deathstarhttp://www.awomanmyage.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-28131545773614695512012-04-17T04:08:05.148-04:002012-04-17T04:08:05.148-04:00I thought the article with Pamela's quotes fro...I thought the article with Pamela's quotes from her book was pretty good!
