I think grief would be a normal emotion to feel if you have spent the first five weeks of your baby’s life in hospital, you would feel robbed of those weeks. I think this can happy to many women for different circumstances.
However she has not said or done a single thing that makes me believe she is grieving missing out on those first weeks with Leo. If she did she would be treasuring every moment with him now and that’s clearly not happening.
I suppose if she had a hysterectomy there would also be some feelings of loss and grief but I’m less convinced that this has happened to her. I think she would be alluding more to this if she had.
So duck knows what she’s grieving. Her child free life?
Sadly I think she is grieving her child free lifestyle....and for many mothers, it
is a shock to the system, however, LT has access to nannies, a brother, and 'sister-in-law' next door, pots of cash and a partner that doesn't have a nine to five job. I think this has somewhat enabled her to wallow in self-pity and not have to do what us mere mortals do - just get on with it as we have no other option. I thought it telling the other day when Zara said she has no intention of having babies for another few years!
And I'm going to call bingo on this. I think she will publish a book detailing her experience (how much detail remains to be seen) then set up a paid platform for people that suffer from PTSD. A bit like LLL or Turtle. Those who suffer often become self-proclaimed experts as they can empathise with conviction. Then she can wallow in self-indulgent 'poor me' forever.
