Magical
My good friend and coworker had her baby last week. Yay! I’m so happy for her, and her baby is lovely. But one of our other coworkers keeps asking me about her and how they’re all doing. Also fine, I guess, because I’ve seen them a couple times and can update the people who are really curious. But said other coworker keeps steering the conversation to how magical and wonderful the whole new parent experience is, and I just don’t want to hear about that. I want to be happy for my friend, not have a reason to dwell on a general experience that I’m grieving the loss of. I’m really surprised that she doesn’t realize that, because she knows exactly what I went through, and I have no idea what to do about it.
