Lillamy, thank you for sharing that about your response after miscarriage. I can see the similarity. I actually was afraid for most of my adult life that I might never have a baby. It made me crazy enough to settle for an alcoholic as my baby's father. I remember being so sad, but wanting to be happy when my younger sister announced that she was having a baby about a year and a half before I ever knew my dream would come true.
My experience is not the same as miscarriage, but I have a hint of what that painful envy is like. The best thing about KKE's situation is that she COULD possibly fall in love and be romantically proposed to by someone else. If she's anything like me, the FEAR of what she might never get keeps her stuck in a less than happy situation where she might never get what she wants anyway. I learned the hard way that this may come at a very high price. I get it though.
