Thanks so much for sharing this, Ann! I am really struggling right now to let go of disappointment and frustration and get back to living my life. I found out a little over a month ago that I was pregnant and then found out a couple weeks ago that I would miscarry. The worst of the physical part of the miscarriage is over, but the grief is lingering on and I've been struggling to let go and open myself up to joy again. I have been feeling angry at the world, and angry at my addict sister, too, for not being more supportive after I shared this news. I gave myself some time to rest and recuperate, but duty calls. I have work that I urgently need to do, and ultimately watching TV and wallowing is not getting me anywhere. So it was a comfort to read this today and to be reminded that I could choose to set aside my grief for a little while and run some errands and do some work that I care about. It's so important to remember that it's our choice how we deal with life's disappointments.
