My co-worker and I found out we were to be grandmas a couple of weeks apart. Soon after, her grandbaby went to heaven. I have let her talk and shed tears with her, but I'm not sure how to handle saying anything exciting about my grandbaby between now and when it is born and even at that point, my grandbaby is due about three weeks after hers should have been born. Can you help me know how to share my joy without making her feel her loss?![]()
There probably is no way unfortunately. One of my family members is pregnant and I just lost mine. It's painful for me and I have some level of jealousy for her but I love her so much and even though I lost mine I'm still extremely happy for them. Hopefully she will be happy for you even though she lost her grandbaby. If she is a close enough friend just talk to her about it. Tell her that you will not share your stories if she wishes but you definately want her to understand that you are not in any way trying to rub anything in her face or make her more upset. Which reminds me I do have to tell my family member not to worry about upsetting me when asking me questions or updating me because even though it is a horrible thing for me it's still an amazing thing with her and one I don't want her to be ashamed of. Good luck to you, congratulations, and good luck to your coworker as well.
