Thanks for helping me to see that it's important to give thanks and be honest about how I'm feeling in happy times as well!Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04939987028726182741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159704200012808123.post-17374870948660079682010-03-08T13:15:31.297-08:002010-03-08T13:15:31.297-08:00i think that sensitivity to others isn't the p...i think that sensitivity to others isn't the problem; it's when it prevents you from being honest that it becomes an issue. your recognition of that is half the battle.<br />i'm glad you posted this; i think it is good for people on both sides of the issue to read. as someone in a loving, thriving marriage, i've felt the same sensitivity towards others who aren't in one, but now i see it differently after a friend who went through a horrible divorce told me that he needed my husband & I to be open about the goodness of our relationship as an example and inspiration of what a healthy marriage looks like.<br />in the same way -- and i sort of just wrote about this on my blog -- i appreciate the sensitivity of my friends towards my pregnancy losses, but the truth is that i miss MY children, not theirs. their successful pregnancies and live births represent hope to me, and participating in their blessing and their joy is healing for me.<br />it IS a delicate balance and i think that your seeking God's prompting in your communication is the best way to approach it. when your expression of gratitude comes from humility and not from entitled pride, i believe it does nothing but bless all who hear it.<br />love you!hadashihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08304279224385869275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159704200012808123.post-39488105071957524002010-03-07T20:24:18.233-08:002010-03-07T20:24:18.233-08:00I'm new to your blog Jennifer - just meeting o...I'm new to your blog Jennifer - just meeting on FB through similar health issues, but this was a beautiful blog entry... one that encouraged me.

My intent in writing anything is NEVER to hurt anyone, and anyone who really reads what you write can see your heart and how compassionate and considerate you are!!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01828552745708177768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159704200012808123.post-40337270829001452642010-03-07T12:45:29.836-08:002010-03-07T12:45:29.836-08:00Jenni, it's nice to hear your heart on this. ...Jenni, it's nice to hear your heart on this. I kind of always wondered how you made that balance between rejoicing and not wanting to hurt others. This is a struggle I've had as well, but one way I had to do that was facebook. I purposely did not "friend" my HP IF friends for fear of hurting them. I allowed them to friend me if they felt they could. I had to have that place where I could be free to be ALL of me. I'm finding that in my blogging too. It is mostly about being a mom right now because I need to identify with that right now.<br />Anyway, just had to chime in that you are not alone in your thoughts. Can't say that I have any great suggestions though. =) Hugs!Tina @ Girl Meets Globehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08587907664334608623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159704200012808123.post-660938931349508382010-03-07T11:50:30.677-08:002010-03-07T11:50:30.677-08:00Great post, and I do understand what you are sayin...Great post, and I do understand what you are saying.
