Work was incredibly difficult today. I am not sure why. I was incredibly distracted and had a hard time concentrating. I got done what needed to get done and even got a head start on a few of next weeks projects. But, for some reason, I still feel like it as a tough day.
One of my coworkers recently found out that her daughter is having a baby. Hearing her talk about it is not as difficult as I would have thought. What was difficult today was when she told a story about a woman she was talking to from craigslist.com about purchasing some baby stuff for her daughter. She started by saying that it was such a sad story. The woman had experienced a stillbirth and she just wanted to sell all the reminders. My coworkers went on to say something like this:
"Miscarriages are sad but a stillbirth is just absolutely terrible. I can't imagine."
I wanted to scream at her that miscarriages are terrible too. I mean, I can't imagine having to go through a stillbirth and I won't even try to compare it to a miscarriage but miscarriages aren't just sad. They are devastating!
