What is sorrow? Parting is such sweet sorrow...

 Millie has been married for the last six years. Both her and her husband have never had luck in giving birth to a child successfully. Millie has faced a miscarriage in her early pregnancy which put her through sorrow. A cheerful and happy Millie turned out to be a sad and depressed woman who was often seen in sorrow.

______________________________________________________________________________

James, Millie’s husband, knew why his wife seemed to be in sorrow. She wanted to be a mother since the time they got married. Her dream was to take care of children and have a happy life just like others around her. She had once told James how happy her friends seem to be with kids and how complete they felt about their life. She was happy for them but at the same time was sad that she never had such a beautiful family with children. She has cried and had several sleepless nights. She used to pray to bless her with at least one child so that she can happily take care.

“Come on dear, Come inside and sit near the fireplace. It has been snowing for some time now. You will catch a nasty cold if you sit here like this…” spoke James. Millie got up and turned towards James. When he looked into her eyes, he could see fresh tears lodged in her eyes with a tinge of sorrow and longingness for a happy life with a child. Millie quietly walked into the kitchen. James said, “Have a seat and relax. I will fix a nice dinner for you. Let me know if you have any preferences.” James was trying to lighten the atmosphere that was heavy with sorrow. Millie gave a wry smile and stared at the log which was consumed by the fire. 

James walked towards Millie and hugged her tightly from behind. Tears started streaming down from her eyes as she weeped. She felt like her heart had broken into a thousand pieces and is now struggling to be stuck together. James spoke, “ I know how much you wish to have a baby of our own. I am surprised at how you can remain calm when you see others with kids all around you. However, people would fail to understand and would always assume that you are to blame and suggest treatment. We know how our life is and want no one else’s opinion on how to live or how to have kids. Just keep praying and be confident. We will definitely have our own bundle of joy soon…” Millie spoke, breaking her silence, “How can you act so calm in front of me? I know how much you hurt for the same reason…” James said, “Yes, It hurts a lot… to not have a baby of our own when everybody around us is happily playing and enjoying their baby’s childhood and upbringing. We can only hope for the best…”

People might face sorrow for various reasons. What we fail to understand is that sorrow needs to be kept at bay. Excess sorrow might disrupt a normal life. If you need help to overcome sorrow, you should always ask people around you for help.

Have a great day and stay strong :)
