Today’s prompt is “What Not to Say.” Basically it is asking us if we have had anything terrible said to us after our loss.
I honestly don’t feel that we have had anything terrible said to us. Somethings were said with love from someone, but at the moment they said it, it came across as hurtful. We have learned that we need to see the reasoning behind what was said, not always the words themselves. This wasn’t something we learned just after the loss of Pixel though. It was something that we learned as we were grieving the loss of a biological child after our infertility diagnosis. It is a long learning process with many twists and turns.
The only thing that was the hardest for me was when people would tell me “I could never be as strong as you.” I wrote about my feelings on that here.
I know we aren’t suppose to just copy and paste items from the internet, but these quotes are something I feel sums up today’s prompt.
