[...] according to a collection agency. If you remember, I had problems actually getting a bill for my miscarriage. If they pulled what was pulled on Nickel…I would have been livid. Luckily, I paid my bill [...]

I don’t blame you one bit for not negotiating the bill. And I can understand why you are looking forward to paying that bill. I hope once you do, things get easier.

I am really glad this looming bill is behind you. I completely understand about not wanting to deal with it. I can be more than persistent in fighting billing errors, but if it concerns something that is going to affect me in a negative way, for too long a time, I just pay it and move on. My mental well being is worth much more.

A calendar tells me how long it has been since I had a similar loss. Walking past my last house, I see the tree I planted and feel a tiny tug at my heart. As I read your words, I also remember that I didn’t do “anything” about my bill. I paid it with a credit card, so I wouldn’t have to look at it. It worked for me.

Hang on! It never goes away, but it does get easier.

I started following your blog not long ago. I’m sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I know from experience how hard that is, and the financial aspect only makes it worse.

I totally understand the emotion/finance connection. I am sorry about your miscarriage, I know personally how it does take time to heal. And I wanted to add my own emotional/bad financial decision story…my landlord makes me feel like shit, is rude and condescending. I ended up paying $500 to get a new garbage disposal just so I don’t have to see him, talk to him, or deal with him. And I won’t see a return on that $500 investment, as I’ll move out of where I’m living in a few years. Oh well…

I certainly agree in this case that $163 seems like a bargain. I’ve never seen a bill that cheap where I live!
