He saw her sitting quietly and looking out of the window, staring into the oblivion.
The shock of miscarriage had been too much for her to take and ever since, she had withdrawn from the outer world.
No matter how much he tried, she wouldn't let him break through the shell she had built around her!
Worried, he looked at his doctor, seeking some solution, for he was ready to do anything to get her back to normal.
That evening, he packed their bags and set out for a vacation, hoping the change would help her to recover as said by the doctor.

so true the quote is but still we can't help worrying syndrome!
ReplyDeletefeels so true :) ..you can't help it ..!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you word by word. Worries have never helped anyone in anything. There is no constructive worries, they are always destructive...
ReplyDeleteAs someone said “worry is like a rocking char—it gives you something to do but it doesn’t get you anywhere”.
ReplyDeleteWe cannot help worrying, even though we know that worrying will not bring any positive result.
ReplyDeleteAww what a sweet thought by the husband :)
ReplyDeleteA change of scene and the mood does wonders!
ReplyDeleteand a good husband he is!
ReplyDeleteGreat quote.
ReplyDeleteLiz A. from Laws of Gravity
Hope she comes back relaxed.Worry, truly kills you from inside!
ReplyDeleteA strong quote supporting a simple story and as they say in Hindi 'Chinta Chita Saman' ( Worrying is like on a death bed)
ReplyDeleteWorld Temple

ReplyDeleteNice and Loved the quote.
ReplyDeleteWorrying never did anyone good. But we can never stop worrying. It;s human tendency ;)
ReplyDeleteVery nice one Athos!

this kind of took me back to the miscarriage i suffered...i know the pain, it was supposed to be my first.....and its something i never got over :(
ReplyDeletebut yea..worrying never helps,
Good one Swathi.. change of place sometimes helps !!
ReplyDeleteLosing a much anticipated baby is hard. Devastating. I didn't actually miscarry. My baby died inside me when I was almost 6 months along. I had surgery to have it removed. After that, I had 2 beautiful children. I have never forgotten my first though and probably never will.
ReplyDeleteA very good story for the letter W, and one that many cansympathise with, even if they have never experience this kind of hurt before. http://www.writer-way.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteA vacation can do wonders for both of them ....i liked the hope you have added up here ...good one :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful Swathi! Worry is like a rocking chair, it will keep you tensed and anxious but get you nowhere,
ReplyDeleteWorry is the interest paid on trouble before it falls due ! A beautiful story, Swathi :)
ReplyDeleteLovely story, a change of scenery helps in dealing with grief and loss. The husband did good :)
ReplyDeleteChange of scenery was a good way to go abt..

Lovely :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes what is needed is a lil bit of understanding though nothing can compensate the loss for someone carrying the baby in the womb. She should be given her space and a gently hug, not expressing anything but a heart to listen and understand. Very well written with the right emotions.
