Re: Whine teary note! I apologize now!From: Jan (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 31 Mar 2000 10:14:00 -0600 (CST)
I was having a bad day one day after the death of my 3-year-old daughter. I saw a woman wearing a t-shirt that said “TOO BLESSED TO BE DEPRESSED”. It made me furious. I thought, “What? Am I not blessed because I am depressed?” Then a thought hit me, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” You often hear stories from people who have suffered; describing gifts they received through the suffering, like wisdom, compassion.... That made me mad too. I thought, “No gift is worth the price I paid.”, so I refused to acknowledge them. But in that moment, I realized that even in my depression & loss I could receive the blessing of comfort from friends and family. From there I was able to accept other gifts and blessings. Sonnet, I know you're mourning for the child you long to have, and the child that was lost to your friend. I hope you find the blessing of comfort. I've just been diagnosed with PCOS. I’m not sure I ever would have figured it out without this board and you ladies. This is my gift in the midst of suffering with PCOS. I would go as far to say as this board may have saved my life, at least my health. I might have gone on the get severe heart disease and diabetes, but this board has given me the opportunity to nip it in the bud. Thanks to everyone for sharing your knowledge and support. God bless you all. (And by God I mean Allah, Yahweh, Buddha, whoever your personal supreme being may be.)
