Grief is Weird
Tuesday, April 8
I debated putting this out there because, honestly, isn't everyone getting sick of the miscarriage talk? I ultimately decided to post it for me because writing about it makes me feel better. So take what you will from it.
A month ago, I would have sworn I was over this whole miscarriage crap. I cried, got angry, did all the things you're supposed to do to get over having a miscarriage according to the INTERNET. I started to doubt my health when I kept getting hit with illness: flu, colds, back pain, etc. Turns out it wasn't bad Kelly Inn karma.
Although that probably would have been easier.
Two weeks ago I started to feel really sad. By nature, I am an upbeat, happy-go-lucky kinda gal so I was surprised and bewildered at what was causing it. I felt really guilty about feeling sad -- didn't I have everything I have always wanted? (Ok, besides being a vampire). I decided to stop analyzing and just let myself feel sorry for myself. I kept seeing this picture of Jack and Rose (from Titanic, weird, I don't even like that movie) after Jack's dead when she lets him go and he sinks down into the sea... except it was me letting go of the baby I lost. The whole thing was weird and depressing but I felt better after a good cry.
Later that night, I passed the baby. I had no idea my body had been holding on to this for three long effing months. Immediately afterwards, I felt 100% better both physically and emotionally. My back pain totally disappeared. I felt almost peaceful?
I want to let my guard down and tell myself that I'm finally over this ..but every time I do: WHAM! I get hit with a new round of grief. I don't suppose this is the kinda thing you can joke about 3 months after it happens but, really, I want to. Because what's more hilarious than losing a baby?

Finn: (looking at my bracelet) You don't like the werewolf, Mommy? Me: I like the werewolf as a friend. Finn: You like the heart from Edward better? Me: Much, much better, Finn. It's true love from a vampire. Finn: Lleah. (Finn's version of yeah).
