you are, and beautifully. but bad news is still bad. I am sorry about that part.

yes, you are still breathing, and doing so with a grace, dignity and strength that is humbling and inspiring. i know the pain must still be as sharp as ever, but hope the breathing comes easier for you with each passing day.
Amen, sister.
There’s a great line from the series Six Feet Under, which I adored, after a certain character has died (I won’t give it away) and The character of Ruth says to the priest, who offers words of comfort about God and why painful things happen, “Well God is an assh*ole.”
That’s my only explanation.

I’m so sorry, Meg. I know that there is no substitute for you having your own baby since you want it so much. But on the other hand, should you ever choose to adopt, I believe you would be one stellar super wonderful great mom to a little child who needs someone.
I’m betting on you as a mother someday, somehow. There are a million ways to be a mother. You’ll find yours, I’m sure of it.
That has always been my greatest fear.
Yeah. Mine too.
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that you will a mother one day. A fantastic mother — better than most.
I am a relative newcomer here so I did not know your whole story, Meg. Holy crap – what a bomb to be dropped on you. I am so sorry to hear it. But in the short time I have been reading your blog, I will say that I feel you have an inner strength and faith that will carry you far. Just by sharing such numbing news is an amazing act of faith. Where there is a will – there is a way. You certainly can be a mother some day if that is your fondest desire. Never give up hope.
I’m so sorry.
So sorry to hear this, but please do not give up hope. I have known too many mothers who were told they would never have children. There is always a way. Besides adoption there is using your eggs and a surrogate mother and there are places where this treatment is not that expensive like India.
There are also sometimes alternative therapies that have done wonders for people. There is a book called “Inconceivable” by a woman who was told she could not have a second child. It was her story on how she proved the doctors wrong.
If there is a will, there is always a way. Do grieve this news, but never give up hope!
