Hiya , I’m only 19 years old and struggling the loss of my baby girl in utero , I don’t know how to live anymore it’s been a week already and all I’m being told is that it’s going to get better just need to speak to someone
Hello, are you still here checking for replies? I had the same loss of twin girls in utero. They had defects that were not compatible with life. It definitely felt like a death to me at the time and it was quite devestating to me, actually. People say the dumbest, though well meaning, things when this happens (its for the best, it was God’s plan, you’ll have another one, etc)
I remember wondering HOW a loving God could allow unborn infants to suffer. It turned out to be quite a spiritual growth period for me after the grief became manageable. Your grieving is real. Your loss is real. Its not your fault.
