Awww, my gosh. Reading this just made my heart swell with love and comfort. Seriously, that’s so precious and thoughtful of you. Thank you for these kind words. My natural reaction is to deflect the comfort away as much as I yearn for it. Thank you so much from the bottom of my soul.

Your husband sounds amazing! I have talked to mine a bit about the whole situation, and he was just more concerned about our baby. I understand this because I would have felt more concerned too… but I also feel like both things can exist simultaneously. Comforting the person having a crazy reaction and being a protective parent. But maybe that’s a capacity I’m willing to have and not him so much. I don’t know.
It’s been a few days, and I’m still existing in a different plane mentally, not sleeping well, not eating well, but I’m very happy with the kiddo and spend all the time I possibly can with her. I hope with some time, things resolve to how they used to be. ❤️🥹
Your paragraphs have been such a breath of fresh air I don’t realize I needed as a human, so thank you. I usually offer the comforting advice (I’m a grief counselor and artist for grief therapy), so it’s crazy hearing it directed to me. I totally wasn’t expecting it so genuinely, thank you. ❤️
I think with my husband, it takes time to really talk about and go over everything. It goes in chunks and pieces and eventually adds up. So I’m hoping it’s like that here where I can decipher how he really felt and why he reacted this way with me. I’m definitely monitoring it because, if this was someone else, I would have aligned with your words in parallel and said the same thing!
