I'm so sorry you're going through this. Honestly, nothing I can say will fix it. What you need to know though is that you're not alone. And it's ok to talk about it. Prepare for people who haven't been through this to "not get it". You've lost a child regardless of whether you got to meet it. Accept that it's a big deal. It's incredibly sad, but I promise you, some point you're not going to be so sad any more. In the meantime, be kind to yourself. Find people who care about you to talk about this with. Ask questions about what's physically going to happen too and make sure you're prepared for that. And again, know you're not alone. You're going to get through this. For me, it made me love the children I have now even more. It's the saddest thing to deal with, but it doesn't mean you're not going to be happy again and it doesn't mean you won't have a family of your own. Crying is part of grieving, it's ok to be upset, eventually you will feel stronger. Thinking of you.
Everything CD1 said, and, if you choose to share what you’re going through, you will find you’re in a larger community than you realize. If youre comfortable, tell a trusted colleague/superior who can help you manage your workload and others expectations. Your grief may hit you at an unexpected moment and you will need help. I hope your office/team will be kind to you. Sending you healing thoughts.
Take time off this weekend to care for yourself. Find someone to talk to about it—a friend, a professional, someone. Take more time if you can when you need it. Don’t blame yourself. Try to do the things that you find joy in.
Agree with everything CD1 said. Take time for yourself, and allow yourself to grieve. My friends and family were as supportive as they could be, but I eventually decided to talk to a therapist. It was the best decision I made (I had a lot of other stuff going on too, so it all just became too much). Sending you love and strength. You are not alone. ❤️
Sending support and hugs as well. I’ve been there 2x and it was never easy. You have great advice from pp above. Get some rest, binge watch some TV, you’ll slowly start to feel a bit better. 💗💗
People will tell you to hang in there, it gets better with time. That is misleading because doesn’t really, it sticks with you always. But time does pass whether you want it to or not. And you have to look for ways to cope with the pain, to find ways out of that bleak place. Try to let go of the pressure to “be okay again.” You’re not. And that’s okay. It’s okay to not want to forget them. To miss them. To love them even though they are gone. You carried them all the days of their life ❤️ Talk to people who have gone through it cuz others, though well intentioned, don’t really understand. It’s the worst pain. But talking about it helps, no matter how dark. Been there, and it was the hardest thing I ever went through. But, I’m still here. You will be too, though that may or may not feel comforting right now. Sending you so much love ❤️
Been through it myself. Broke my heart. Dm me since were working at the same office. Let’s grab coffee and Kleenex.
No advice, just sending you ❤️
With time you’ll feel better, don’t rush it. It’s ok to cry. ❤️
I’m so sorry. HUG
So sorry 💗 it’s ok to feel anything and everything you need to feel. Thinking of you and sending big hugs. Any resource that helps you is valuable ... from therapy to drs to acupuncture to this and other communities 🙏🏼
