Marriage is rocky so daughter has decided to stay and work on marriage. This means I will not be a grandma. My life as a non-grandma among my peers is similar to not moms; loads of grandchildren pictures, non-stop stories and my feeling sad. This site brings solace to me as I share many of the same feelings.

It really helps to come to a place like this and find out we are not alone!

We talked about having kids and I always wanted kids, but over the years we've struggled financially and the time never seemed right. Finally he admitted that he really didn't want to have any more kids as he was getting older and we are just now getting back on our feet financially. I love my step kids but we don't see them often. As I am also getting older I know the probability of physically having kids is slim to none. I've had bouts of sadness and tearfulness as I feel this is a loss in my life that I have to mourn. My husband has absolutely no concept of this and thinks I'm crazy to feel this way. When I found this site, it was a huge relief! It's so comforting to know I'm not the only one.

To get through a grief period this year, I started keeping a diary and forced myself to write down at least one thing per day, that I was grateful for. After 6 months, it really turned my attitude around. Now I can fill up a page of things I am grateful for, even though my career did not turn out as planned, and I did not have children. Here are a few things I'm grateful about today: 1) I slept the entire night without waking up or having hot flashes; 2)my husband's hug before he left for work; 3) the weather is beautiful and cooler like we are entering Fall; 4) my sisters, my niece, and still having my mom in my life; 5) my boss took the day off and I can feel at peace at my job; and 6) my bunny is happy and excited every time he sees me. All this and it's only 8:39 a.m. Can't wait to see what else happens throughout the day that makes me feel blessed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
