Comparisons

How often do you think you compare yourself to others?

Do you think it is daily? Hourly? Every time you jump on social media?

Do you imagine the conversation you have in your mind could change if we worked to not compare ourselves to others? Maybe rather than telling yourself you are not good enough, or you “wish” for what the other has you could settle into a mindset that I am good enough.

We have all heard that what we see on social media isn’t an accurate representation ~ and I think we even know that based on how we all post on our own social media. We put out there what we want to world to see, sometimes, rather than what really is.

Baby loss moms do this too. We compare what we have with others, we determine that we are not good enough or must have done something wrong because of our circumstances. But the truth is that we have our story and others have their story and we can’t compare. Nor, do we get to compare our loss with someone else’s and determine that I understand what they are going through because we share a similar story.
