I've probably told you this before, but I think it is so profound and revealing that it's worth saying again: One of my former co-workers told me of her sister-in-law who could not get pregnant. She and her husband did go on to adopt two girls, but she (the mother) had to mourn the child she could never have. Grieving is a long process and, if you think about it, even after grieving the loss of a loved one (ie your grandpa, my first baby) there can still be painful reminders years later. And sometimes these reminders come from nowhere. Right? So I think it's completely normal that the movie scene upset you. I also suspect that for the rest of your life, even when you have adoptive children whom you love unconditionly, you will still have pangs of grief over the child you could never have.<br />What do you think?Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805401564651493025noreply@blogger.com
