Hi I come on here with good news my one son and his partner are having a baby in Jan but I feel bitter sweet has my husband is not here to share the news so I want to be happy but I can’t be happy
It is probably the biggest thing we find hard to face, to be able to experience joy and pleasure again after a loss.
You are living it for both you and your husband now, so he would want you to celebrate it the way he would.
Congratulations
Hi @Sandypaws022

Someone at a bereavement group had the same thing happened to them .

My son had twin girls last week, im so blessed to have good family around, im trying to keep busy but today was a complete meltdown and my middle son had to come and get me. But home now with dogs and trying to occupy my mind.x
It’s wonderful that you have a family, I have none. I live all alone in a foreign country trying to figure out what to do with my life…
