Not the same situation but I think I feel similarly to you. I mourn not being able to deliver my daughter vaginally. It's a bit conflicting, feeling both thankful and sad at the same time. A loss that prevents a greater one. Giving myself permission to feel sad without dismissing the loss as "for the best" helped me process it. That's a process in itself though, I'm still dealing.
