Telling my family

[King26]

Hey all,
So today I told my family. We give my parents a grandparents valentine's day card and my mom freaked out. I mean screaming, shaking, crying. My 15 year old cousin was there and came running. We had to lie and tell him there was a bug in the card. He thought it was hilarious. Anyhow my parents were thrilled. Mom cried off and on for a half hour.

Then we went to tell my brother. Unfortunately before we went my parents said they HD to tell us something. My brother and his wife were pregnant and miscarried over xmas. We aren't supposed to know but they would hve been due the week before us. I am devastated for them. I went over to tell them and only my brother was downstairs. He was happy nd congratulated us. However, his wife wouldn't come to my parents for the paety. I think we made her sad which makes me really sad
I wish he had told me because I would like to offer her support and tell her I get it but I have nothing to offer if they don't tell me.

So I'm glad I told them but I'm a little sad too. They will start trying again next month.

I'm so sorry to hear about you brother and SIL. But I'm glad you were able to tell your parents!

Aww, your mom's reaction! So sweet!

Sorry to hear about you brother and SIL.

I'm so glad that you can be out in the open with your family now, and that your mom was so excited.

I'm so sorry about your brother and his wife. How heartbreaking for them.

Glad things went well telling your mom and dad! I don't recall, did your family know that you suffered from IF?

How sad about your brother and SIL. I guess you're not supposed to know so it's hard to reach out or do anything for them.

It is really hard to balance your excitement with your brother's loss. I am so happy for you, though!
