It’s Been A Bad Day, Please Don’t Take My Picture
I was chatting with a coworker yesterday and I told her I was having a bad day. She used a response I use quite often:
“It’s only a bad day if you let it.”
“Yeah, but this is a really bad day.”
“Oh, why is that?”
And here’s where I made her feel like a total a**hole,
“I started miscarrying.”
It’s like when someone casually asks you how you’re doing and instead of just saying fine (which is all the answer they were really prepared for) you proceed to tell them you lost your job, your dog died, and your wife just left you.
Of course she told me she felt like a total a**hole and I told her it was my full intention to make her feel that way, of course. (She has a great sense of humor so we were just joking around here). And then she gave me the best advice ever:
“In that case, go on with your bad day!”
I would say a miscarriage is reason enough to let yourself have a bad day, don’t you? It’s a damn good excuse to eat ice cream for dinner too

Maybe instead of a drink, we should go for icecream down at the island today
And then get a drink at a later date too of course! And I promise I won’t take your picture!

I’ve been sitting hear wanting to say something that would be a comfort to you. but everything I think to say seems to fall short of what you are feeling. I’m sorry that you have to go through this. I am hurting with you and praying for you. I love you.
