But I think your SIL might get more comfort out of your support than you realize. One of my SILs is an amazing comfort to me because she's been there, come out on the other side, and is willing to talk about it. It's great to know I can talk to her about how scared I am to try again and how pessimistic I am that it'll never work, and she knows exactly how I feel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-82683836321859137102010-06-18T14:54:22.861-07:002010-06-18T14:54:22.861-07:00Yeah.

I'm so sorry to hear this and I know that out of all the people she could be surrounded by, you are a remarkably understanding, caring and empathetic person to be on her side.<br /><br />Sucks.

We know how much it hurts and have empathy instead of sympathy. When I hear bad news, it literally takes my breath away.

But she did not tell me. Then at 10 week u/s found out she had m/c and had to have D&C. But she did not share any of this with me until I was 20 weeks along (and we email/text DAILY). I felt AWFUL! Even though she knows my history as well as I do, I felt AWFUL trying to comfort her with my belly and blog-angst (which she reads). She has repeatedly said that she can find much joy in Peanut (her husband is the godfather), and it's "Different" because of what I have been through - thus, she isn't uncomfortable around me or the girls.<br /><br />I think she's a saint. Way better person than I ever could be.<br /><br />I'm glad you can comfort your MIL, and your SIL, even if they don't realize it necessarily - you will know what NOT to say, and not to bombard her with photos, etc. Your sensitivity will be the enduring part of this. Please trust in that.Ms. Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04734867984972785143noreply@blogger.com
