Baby loss

This feels silly to share as I lost something I never really got to have. It’s been four months since I lost my unborn baby, a baby I felt so connected to, loved so dearly, and I don’t really know what to do with myself. These past months I’ve held it together but recently it’s a lot harder to cope with, it’s eating at me night and day. I feel silly discussing it because I know that losing someone you know, someone you share find memories with is a much harder thing to comprehend. But I don’t know where to turn for help. I am struggling.

Please don’t feel silly for discussing it. Your feelings are completely valid. You’ve lost so, so much! I’ve been there. I lost my daughter in late pregnancy and I’ve also experienced a couple of early miscarriages. Each was a tremendous loss. You are more than entitled to feel everything you’re feeling. You carried your baby. You had dreams for your baby. Loved and bonded with your baby. So much was taken away from you. So never feel silly for feeling what you do. We are allowed to remember them and to talk about them as we would any other family member, because that’s exactly what they are, a part of our family. Holding these feelings in will only eat away at you. You’re allowed to grieve for your loss. Please feel free to reach out. I’m more than happy to offer some support and an understanding ear :heart:
