Pain

 Sitting up

A blessing

After a hospital stay

I had to have some

Female organs

Taken out

For health reasons

I will not be bearing children

A fate I fought 

For a year

A year that brought

A pain I won’t explain

My health could no longer

Take the pain

And I had to 

Be reassured

My value

Is not tied

To child-bearing


Be kind

    A painful and difficult point in life, but long term hopefully the right one.

    Rest and heal. As a nurse told me, "in 6 mos. you will feel like you again." You are so much more.

    Dearest Regine,
    Have traveled that route and an annex tumor caused me pain and problems so all was taken and since then, now eight years later—no more pain.
    Heal well and be patient!
    Hugs,
    Mariette

    Your value is infinite and immeasurable, just because you are a daughter of God. I'm so sorry about losing out on the dream of children though. I know how that feels.

    Sorry you had so much pain. It is a hard thing to go through making that decision, I have friends that had to do the same thing, just know that you can still have a very rich and rewarding life. May God grant you peace in it all and freedom from pain. HUGS

    What a hard decision that you have been forced to make Regine - but you are a Queen, and a child of the King, so you will heal both physically and spiritually. You are in my prayers

    I'm so sorry you've been in pain and sorry you had to make that decision! I hope you feel better both emotionally and physically! Yes, our worth is not based on our ability to bear children. Take care, Regine!

    No, your value is far beyond that, but I'm sure that was a hard, if necessary, choice and a tough one to take. My hope is that you will one day be able to channel that energy into other children who could learn so very much from you.
