AlterNet: The Unbearable Darkness of Being
This is an *awesome* article. A must-read for any grieving Kerry supporters (or Bush detractors)! It was posted to a political list I'm on, and it totally speaks to how I think a lot of us are feeling right now.
I love this:
"My mind can handle the body blow of defeat, but it's the slow, seeping chill of dread that is harder to fend off."
And am a bit disturbed by this:
"I'd planned to get pregnant next year. Maybe I'll just stay home with the baby – lose myself in motherhood as some women do when defeated in other parts of their lives."
Yet another (childless) woman who thinks it is impossible to get complete fulfillment from motherhood. *sigh*
Oh, well. The rest of her thoughts on the election aftermath are really great.

That's so sad! Motherhood is far more than so many of the bitter ones can ever imagine. They'd be in for a hell of an awakening *hug*
