I lost my 16 months old daughter 3 months ago and its just been hard coping with it. I don’t see any reason to leave anymore, I don’t sleep from 2 am, im always awake. I’ve been trying to get pregnant again but its just so hard. My partner is finding it hard to even maintain an erection. Something that has never happened and this is driving me nuts. Atimes I feel like just walking away. I just don’t know what to do.
