Such a good description of what a lot of our interactions bring. <br /><br />This reminds me of some of the experiences I had in yoga teacher training - I was exposed to a lot of things that revealed a mightily changed world view from before infertility, but I was having a hard time putting my finger on it. I just don't think I was quite ready to deal with it all. I could not accept what I refused to confront!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-42193390807113114422017-09-01T07:51:03.882+12:002017-09-01T07:51:03.882+12:00yea, about lessons that keep coming up...

At first giving some excuse.<br />But then she said that , while so happy for me, she really felt not comfortable after her divorce last year.<br />Ouch. It took a moment to set aside my feelings of rejection and realise that for her there is nothing to celebrate (or no one to celebrate it with) I did apologise for pressuring her and not understanding. But o dear, how silly I feel. (And there I thought I had learned a thing or two about empathy)Valeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210187335704409247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-26882797950772095002017-08-31T01:53:40.915+12:002017-08-31T01:53:40.915+12:00Such a thought-provoking post, Mali, thank you!

And I'm so grateful to have people like you reminding me of the fact that it is okay if the lessons keep coming up :-).Elainehttp://www.elaineok.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-41166285905432490672017-08-30T09:41:23.475+12:002017-08-30T09:41:23.475+12:00This is lovely.

Awareness (through confronting) is definitely the first step to some kind of change. Sometimes not confronting something just prolongs the damage it is doing to you.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-74866032820366168172017-08-30T08:16:43.956+12:002017-08-30T08:16:43.956+12:00beautifully written.
