I don't have kids either, by choice but I also can't stand to see children hurt as I was abused as well. Try to avoid those articles the best you can as it sounds like it is something that you will always be triggered by. We all have our sensitivities so I do the best I can. I am sorry that you were not able to have a child. I hope that you can find some solace. Best wishes.

Thanks. Most of the time, the headline is enough to trigger me. But sometimes, like an idiot, I click and actually read the article. I have no clue why. It's as if I want to be angry, want to revisit my sense of loss or something? I don't understand why I do what I do, sometimes.
I hope somehow I can move forward, and live with the reality that in some things, there are no second chances. It bites, but there it is.
I think it would be easier to grieve and release the pain I feel and be able to move on, too, if I felt like my life was headed towards something positive. Lately, it hasn't, and I've had more losses (family deaths) to absorb in the past several months. So I'm experiencing depression, along with compounded grief.
