your page. Ugh. You feel deflated, alone, when will it be your turn to make the announcement
of your big day. Rather than take some time to breathe, give yourself some space to digest the
news, you respond quickly, “OMG, I am so thrilled for you, congratulations,” and then the nurse
calls your name.
