As a birthmother in America who was forced to give up my daughter almost 45 years ago the pain of loss, judgement, abandonment has only increased with the passing years. By chance I came upon your website tonight looking for some comforting words, go with the flow. I was told I was being selfish for wanting to keep my daughter, despite not being married (1968). I was not able to have children after that.
Hello Grace, I am very sorry to hear of the ongoing pain of your loss and I can only try to comprehend how you feel. I don’t think the notion of ‘going with the flow’ ever diminishes the pain of what has happened in the past, but I try to think of it as helping us to move forward in the present.
