It's always been inspiring to me and helped me to see how in most everything there are "wins" so to speak... even with the losses. <3nicoleciomekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00126828010169796290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-30594805381083755152016-12-10T13:28:53.056+13:002016-12-10T13:28:53.056+13:00I am sorry for this most recent reminder that made...I am sorry for this most recent reminder that made December all the more painful for you.

I'm sure the familiar seasonal changes bring back sensations of those past times. It's strange that you should say "I felt extraneous to much of the world" (brilliant phrasing); I felt like this yesterday. It was the bleakest, darkest December day (in fact it reminded me of "The Road"!). I had such a sense of misery and outsider-ness - I don't know where it came from really, but I felt detached from the rest of the world that seemed to be bustling about with their extended clans, busy and purposeful. I don't even know if it was that, it felt non-specific really. Very Decemberly. <br />Weird to think that warm weather heralds your December feelings! So strange In Ireland to think of it being summer somewhere.... I'm intrigued about what triggered you; was it the event that you mentioned in your last post that made you feel very alone and childless? I'm being nosy of course you don't have to say; I'm glad it has had a bright side anyway! Resilience is indeed something to treasure and celebrate.<br />https://differentshoresblog.wordpress.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/16936131757889957955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-7163418870330782492016-12-06T21:05:09.447+13:002016-12-06T21:05:09.447+13:00I had both my pregnancies start in November, and e...I had both my pregnancies start in November, and end in January.So December is that sweet spot of time when everything was amazing and magical,until it suddenly wasn't anymore. Along with this,the anniversary of my fathers' death, is December 17th, so this all comes together to make Christmas time not the most joyous of times. As much as I try to make the best of the love and happiness I have in my life, the losses we've suffered are like a permanent scar on my psyche,and no amount of cheering up can make that scar go away.Anihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13146886812615899086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-83550814481749361262016-12-06T14:43:08.658+13:002016-12-06T14:43:08.658+13:00Yes to hard-won strength and resilience.
