I have been avoiding things for a long time that are "hard" and that will hurt but you are probably right; they are much worse in my mind. Another thing is that I had no idea that scene was even in the movie. It took my breath away too. Also, I completely agree that we can't really quantify grief and loss. I have not had a miscarriage or experienced stillbirth. I have not had a child with cancer or lost a baby to SIDS. Or lost a husband. There are just so many hard hard things out there - everybody has something they are called to bear. And we just can't say "your struggle is worse or easier than my struggle" Pain is pain. <br /><br />"un-motherhood is 500 times harder" loved this. Possibly so true. <br /><br />sorry i have left such long comments on your blog today! hahahopefulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06224242040184631742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355053179502250232.post-72790769648740843552011-09-12T06:09:29.903-07:002011-09-12T06:09:29.903-07:00Okay, so I just downloaded his book on my kindle a...Okay, so I just downloaded his book on my kindle and have not started it yet. I did not know that there is a part about a miscarriage, my RE even knew I was reading it and didn't say anything about it (she probably assumed I knew about it). So now I know I'm going to cry while reading this book. Thanks for the heads up.browning2222https://www.blogger.com/profile/00834861634519085672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355053179502250232.post-58628487646783583172011-09-10T01:22:51.483-07:002011-09-10T01:22:51.483-07:00I haven't seen it either but I truly admire yo...I haven't seen it either but I truly admire your strength!

In the book I thought they talked a little more about IF and how difficult it was for her to deal with her repeat miscarriages. Like the PP said, I can't imagine how difficult IF was before there were any options for treatment.Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09616675420814694058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355053179502250232.post-36316950332419244752011-09-09T08:12:48.753-07:002011-09-09T08:12:48.753-07:00I have been wanting to see this movie - and read t...I have been wanting to see this movie - and read the book for that matter.

I was actually looking forward to seeing if they put the m/c scene in the movie, because sometimes they take sideplots from the book out of the movie. This character had a drinking problem in the book, but they did not show it in the movie. I think about how hard it would be to cotend with infertility in the 1960's. Your options would be so limited. And you would suffer in slience. People barely talk about infertility now, so think about how suppressed it would be back then.Frankie Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03016774250490340149noreply@blogger.com
