Mixed emotions make us human. You can be happy for them and have it be a little sad for you at the same time, Maria.
But hiking boots are NOT IT. if you need support there are nice flats out there.
Oh dear lord, no. I can't wear heels any longer but there are totally flats out there that are appropriate for all situations. Find them. Wear them.
I feel that way, like, constantly, Maria. And I'm not grieving a fresh loss.
I'm beginning to suspect it will always suck at least a little, Maria.

Yes, this. Many hugs for you.
Hugs, Maria. Mixed emotions are totally natural, and the mix will shift over time.
{{{{{Maria}}}}} What everyone else said.
Thanks, all. I'm getting to a really good place, but there are still things that sting. I have a feeling this particular one will do so for a while.
I never expected to not be a mom, let alone a widow at 39.
It is such a painful process. I'm so sorry.
