Thanksgiving was going great this year. It was the first in many that my entire family actually showed up. All was well until it came time to say grace.....and then the announcements.

Turns out my uncle and his wife are expecting and have the same due date we would have. I’m trying to be happy for them but it hit me like a ton of bricks. I’m not jealous by any means, but I don’t know how to get rid of the association; as well as that wave of grief that washes over me when it comes to mind.

No one knew that we were pregnant or miscarried and it’s not something I want known. It’s a private grief that hurts like hell right now.
