Date/Mourning
Hey Joann,
I had those exact same feelings! I've had four kids and sure didn't want more, but I guess the finality of it all was tough! Just knowing I COULDN'T have them was so permanent.
I'm now 10 month post-op and am feeling fine!! I have a grandson, Tyler, who's 18 months old and he keeps me busy, so I don't have time to think about having kids. He really helps remind me why I'm glad I won't have to run after a little one again!! I love him so much, but I'm glad he goes back to his house!
Don't worry, you're not bananas, just human. We women have it in us to have babies and when that's gone, sometimes we think our lives are over, but they're not! I used to complain about doing nothing but kids because mine were born so close together, ('78, '84, '85, '87) but now I think twice about that!
Just enjoy today and don't fret. If this is the choice you made, you must've had some reason for it. This too shall pass (those feelings of mourning). It will get better!!
Take care,
