"..... Yet the culture brushes off the sadness of the woman who is
disappointed when breastfeeding fails with an, Oh Well.  I say, let 'em
talk, let 'em cry.  Validate their feelings of loss.  It IS a loss.   Part
of why they are often so confused is no one else acts like it makes any
sense for them to be sad."

Yes, it IS a loss, a big one.  And most of time all we have to do or should
do is listen!
