For me, the most unexpected emotional wave during the wait was the sudden, heavy grief that hit me out of nowhere while just making a cup of tea, completely catching me off guard. The best advice I wish I had is to simply let those feelings come without judging yourself for not staying relentlessly cheerful. Having such a grounding doctor like Dr Regina really helped too—she always reminded me to just be gentle with myself when the wait felt too much.
