Jonathan and I contacted a guy up at church because we wanted to talk to someone about the miscarriage who could help us process it together. We met on Wednesday and I had a big lesson learned. I discovered that my mistake was to come home from the doctor's appointment and immediately tell my mom that it was probably a false pregnancy. What I should have done was to ask Jonathan what HE wanted to tell everyone. I should have considered his feelings and what he was ready or not ready to share with friends and family. I thought this miscarriage was all about me: my body, my blood, my womb, my feelings...most people are concerned with the woman in these situations, right? So I kind of thought I would dictate the situation but we are a partnership and should share in these decisions.
Gosh, there is so much to remember in matrimony.
