我所受的傷
By 葉揚曾以暢銷書《親愛的彼得先生》一書，以幽默筆觸描繪一家點點滴滴人氣作家葉揚，初次寫出自己內心的創傷，將去年失去孩子的心情撰寫下來，以真誠的筆觸，紀錄了一年的心情，還有對年少時光的反思，讓閱讀者同感身受，感動不已。 如果妳坐下來，跟那個曾經受過傷的自己，一起坐在沙灘上，妳會跟她說什麼？ 我想我會跟她說，謝謝妳，沒有那麼拚命的妳，我就到不了這裡。 雖然帶著一點荒蕪，人生還是可以走下去。 因為人生注定是要超過那片荒蕪的。☆ 二○一八年一月，她發現自己懷孕了。 工作正步上軌道，而她的先生也是初戀男友，那位喜歡穿著花花襯衫的彼得，正在一間咖啡廳等他下班，她在上甜點時把驗孕棒拿出來，兩人都很開心地，迎來這一刻。 時間不能再更完美了，第二胎寶寶將在大兒子羅比上幼兒園後的兩個月到來，她覺得自己的人生簡直是教科書題材，她想，「倒楣的女人都會恨我的。」 可那不過，是個錯覺。 故事在幾個月後轉到了另一面。 才剛在網路上公布喜訊的她，從醫生的口中知道，她的寶寶，也許不該誕生在這世界上，寶寶因為天生染色體有問題，有「愛德華氏症」必須引產。 當必須揮手跟寶寶道別的那天，在面對寶寶必須離開的過程裡，她對生命，有了另一個新的選擇、新的體認。 生命有些相遇，說了再見之後，可以再重逢嗎？ 那些無以名狀的悲傷，是怎麼慢慢地，慢慢地回到該走的軌道上。 這本書，獻給每一個，在生活中受過傷，卻還是試著往前的女子。 獻給每一個，即便心裡破了洞，還是懂得欣賞人生的美好片段；在每次噙著淚水時，卻仍舊望著滿天星空，期盼找到出口的妳。 本書節錄金句： 關於受傷—— 「我不應該受傷。我不應該受苦。」 這個思考是對現實的扭曲，只會讓受傷更加痛苦，而只要抗拒受苦，悲傷的過程就會更加漫長。 所謂幸福與成就—— 原來所謂成就，所謂幸福，不是龐然大物，不是煙火表演，也不是兩千公斤的恐龍。成就用一眼看不清楚，幸福的感覺也沒有什麼過癮，更像一瓶白開水，插了一支吸管，一次一小口，味道很淡，可以分很多次喝。 ■媽媽是什麼—— 所謂的媽媽是什麼呢？ 不過就是，不愛沒事，一旦愛下去，就會愛得俗氣而且全面的女人。 ■關於婚姻—— 所有的婚姻都有這麼一個時刻——妳的另一半給出無語問蒼天的建議，他覺得自己很有道理，妳只能咻咻咻地對天空揮拳。 用力多揮幾拳，就不會那麼生氣了。 ■結婚後的愛情—— 親情是老後的愛情。 ...
