Re: Eptopic tx and my surgery
I am so sorry to hear you've suffered this ectopic pregnancy and loss. We can never be prepared for how we will feel following a trauma such as this one. While we may begin to heal physically, there are still emotions which we will need to sort through as we recover. Your loss is still recent, and it's very natural for emotions to surface at different times.
We must grieve for the life we won't have, even if we weren't sure we wanted it. We mourn our losses, and it can make it challenging to be around pregnancy. We can also feel happy for our friends, while at the same time feeling sad about our losses. I too had many friends and family becoming pregnant around the time of my losses. It was a challenge. I found that journaling helped me to collect my thoughts, well enough that I could begin to express them to my partner and close friends.
However, the Trust is also a believer in the power of talking-therapies, and we offer a helpline (with contact number below), or you can email us. As well, you may want to inquire with your GP about referrals to a therapist. It can be so beneficial to speak to someone who can help us hold and contain our emotions.
You have been through massive trauma. These boards are a safe space for you and are filled with women and men who, unfortunately, have shared in a similar experience. We are here for you for as long as you need.
With good wishes,
Michele
