Are we really saying that being wealthy makes you immune to hardship? Like when they miscarried that was okay because they have money?

It’s just different. 47 years ago we lost what at the time would have been our second child through a miscarriage. It wasn’t nice but there were other priorities to deal with, raising our first child, working all the hours we could to pay a mortgage and pay for food, so it got put aside and we continued. Eventually we had another three children. My point being that having little money meant that other things occupied what urgently needed to be done and left little time for dwelling on a miscarriage. Being rich would mean that those financial hardships and work wouldn’t even register and that the mind and emotions would have focused purely on the miscarriage and probable self pity or indeed depression. So it doesn’t make you immune, but it makes it different…still sad but different……

What's wrong with you, for real?

It may be ridiculous to you but it was a fact of life for us at the time….

It may be ridiculous to me because my neighbour killed himself when his wife suffered a miscarriage. It was going to be their 2nd child, first one was 3 or 4 at the time.

Both working class, exactly as you describe it, probably in fact working much harder than you.

But yeah, no time to mourn. Not sure if you're just living in your own head at this point mate, honestly bizarre.

Sorry to hear that. Now can you point out exactly where I said ‘no time to mourn’ or is that just your incorrect interpretation……

Bit OTT in my opinion

Pete is just explaining his situation. He’s not saying that’s the same in every scenario.
