At that time, I have loved our baby so much. The loss is torturing. For a few days at least, I was still pregnant in my dream. Only to woke up realizing that it wasn't the case in real.
Of course, being a slight control freak, the obsession of trying out for another one kicked in soon after.
Then, I was unhappy. Frustrated in trying for a new one, while still mourning the loss of one just passed.
Thankfully I read somewhere (sincere sorry that the kind soul couldn't be credited here, am forever grateful for his/her wisdom)... That learning something new can make you happy.
Of course, bound to have tons of scientific analysis of why that is so. Or, if it's scientifically unproven. But I do know one thing, that it really works for me. True.
I threw myself into books of interesting thing. Paper quilling, handwriting character recognition, flower arrangement... just to name a few.
When the mind is occupied, time goes faster. With curiosity triggered by new information, the world has become more exciting. New skill, new knowledge, brings up the sense of accomplishment, opening up new possibilities.
Until now, I do still constantly on the look out of something new to learn. It could be just nuggets of new info everyday, it still does count. Before dementia kicks in... Let a excercise those grey cells. And be happy along the way.
