Dealing with Disappointment

The understatement of the century, right? Or maybe just the theme of my life? Rather the program I'm going to tonight at Pulling Down the Moon (featured in yesterday's NY Times) in the city... And late night meeting downtown + early morning meeting downtown = staying over downtown. :)

Description of DWD class from FCI/PDTM:

"The fertility journey can sometimes be a physically, emotionally and spiritually challenging time, particularly when we endure loss and disappointment through miscarriage, still birth or failed cycles. Weakened relationships, loss of hope and/or giving up financial resources can also be emotionally draining.

Seldom is there a forum to help you put closure to these feelings of loss or grief. Life moves quickly, a new cycle begins, we head back to work and to the rituals of daily life, yet sometimes these experiences (or their memory) just don’t seem to leave us. They stick around in our consciousness leaving us feeling sad, stuck, unable to move forward or indecisive.

If you are someone who feels you could benefit by “clearing” or putting closure to some aspect of your fertility journey, please join us for a special ritual.

Using spiritual techniques from the yogic tradition we will first talk about negative thought forms, then proceed to the yoga room for the ceremony and clearing. The ceremony will use symbols, mantra, meditation and prayer to help remove those negative thought forms to help bring about a sense of peace deep within your consciousness."

Still waiting for my body to get with the program... I'm in week six post-m/c, though I bled for the first three. Hoping this is the week that AF decides to show, though I'm guessing it'll be bad, and would prefer for it not to ruin our much anticipated weekend @ The Pen. But we are obviously not in control of anything that happens, so we'll see...
