But at the same time, I love your pledge, your mantra that it's ok to not be ok, and that if only more people were open with their bad days, their struggles, instead of only posting/sharing the good stuff on FaceBook, the world would be a much less lonely place. I agree with you that everyone is struggling with something, but it is so hard when it seems that the world is full of wishes fulfilled and the life you thought you'd have. Everyone, I think, is missing something. Thanks for the reminder! I wish you peace as you mourn and remember your friend.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025966614018196157.post-39941666652798943712013-10-03T08:26:57.202-07:002013-10-03T08:26:57.202-07:00I don't think Ill ever be able to comprehend t...I don't think Ill ever be able to comprehend this crazy world.

I can relate to so many things you wrote and while I realize it's normal to feel some lows and struggle, my illogical side feels guilty when I can't just snap myself out of it (and be happy all the time like social media suggests). Allowing yourself to be vulnerable is really tough. Hope you are finding comfort and that each day brings you closer to becoming a mom.Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622377397195134361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025966614018196157.post-48359891313637568932013-10-02T08:30:33.187-07:002013-10-02T08:30:33.187-07:00You are not alone.

You are right everyone is struggling with something my pastor once said you are one of three things going into a storm, in a storm, or coming out of a storm. So there is always something to deal with. One thing I have to say is that social media is definitely like movie highlight reel, they show only the best things and the negative ones are tucked away. I for one keep most of that negative things pinned down to share with God and that's because I've been an open book before and I was hurt in the process. I pray for you that God would ease your heart, and give you peace of mind. You ask the same questions we all have and unfortunately or maybe fortunately our futures are a completely mystery forcing us to trust in God wholeheartedly. I too am afraid of what my future holds but I am praying that whatever God decides he helps me to love it as I live it. Thinking of you friend. Oh and you totally made me think of this post I wrote a few months ago. http://www.thewordofanerd.com/2013/07/shame.html?m=1Charityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12085408470703258088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025966614018196157.post-57937176182487781142013-10-01T10:37:30.986-07:002013-10-01T10:37:30.986-07:00I'm abiding with you as your mourn the loss of...I'm abiding with you as your mourn the loss of your friend and deal with all the uncertainty that infertility brings.<br /><br />Hugs.Lori Lavender Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394441222262940632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025966614018196157.post-42991282850379154862013-10-01T10:01:01.079-07:002013-10-01T10:01:01.079-07:00Thanks Caroline sometimes vulnerable is a long los...Thanks Caroline sometimes vulnerable is a long lost concept.

What's really ironic is that so many people try to hide the things going wrong in their lives, yet once they truly open up about their struggles, others will inevitably respect and appreciate them more as humans. There is no sense going through life like it's one big "look at me and all the great things in my life" charade. Sure, stay positive whenever possible, but if something is hurting you, I say let it out!
