What do I do?? How do I totally put my feelings aside and just be happy for her??
Thanks ladies :)
I kinda know how you feel on this one....we are greiving of course...but I have several friends that had babies while I was in the hospital, and several that are pregnant now...I just don't want people to think that I can't be happy for them, or I'm jealous. I'm not either, I'm thrilled for them. We value our family so much and I'm happy for everyone expanding their family...but I think people knowing we are grieving a loss, makes them feel like they need to walk on egg shells around us...and at least for me...that's just not the case...I want to celebrate with them. (((hugs))) to you Mama! Prayin' your lucky month is fast approaching :)
Don't put your feelings aside. Instead, try to show a little more of your happiness for her. Shes a good friend of yours so she needs you, but you have feelings of your own. Dont hide them, but tuck them away a little bit if you can. Let her know to be comfortable and talk to you. Everything will be okay. Your beautiful!

Thank you for the advice! :)
Just tell her that its okay that she can tell you anything, and those feelings will crop up and you will be jealous and angry at times, but let her be happy like you want her to be and then deal with your feelings later in private.
Thats what I have to do.
