I'm an aunt again. My brother's daughter, Talia, was born this afternoon. Everyone is healthy and safe.
My brother, of course, handled the announcement as clumsily as possible, send my father a text message to the waiting room. Thankfully I had already planned out how I wanted to hear the news, from my sister.
I haven't the faintest glimmer of joy for them . Not yet, anyway. Still hoping for that.
Now, I have to go finish writing my comps.

Emotions are tough. Joy is hard.
You will love her, but this is all a process.
Oh, this sounds hard. Glad everyone is okay, but I was hoping you wouldn't have to deal with this till after your comps.
i agree with the others - the emotions are normal, and you will find that joy. Be kind to yourself if it doesn't come right away. It is so hard. My sister had a child, her third, right after my daughter died. It was hard but with time I found healing in his birth.
