Hi. It’s unbelievable that I am writing this, even on this website, but 8 days ago I lost my husband suddenly and unexpectedly. I am 5 months pregnant.
Has anyone else had the experience of bereavement while pregnant? On one hand it feels like a blessing to have his child on the way but on the other it is heartbreaking and terrifying thinking of doing it alone and that he will never get to be a father or see his child, or my child meet his father.
If anyone knows anyone who understands this situation it would be so helpful to connect with others who have been through this.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your husband, @RebeccaWP - that is devastating.
You are not alone. You may wish to reach out to @beb4e_d, who sadly experienced the death of her husband when she was 12 weeks pregnant. She shared this thread:

I have been through the same two and half years ago, whit the one difference that i had 10 years old son at the time and being 12 weeks pregnant.
I understand your pain and I am so, so sorry that you need to go through this.
If you need to speak, cry or shout ( I remember that i wanted to scream and shout) to someone you are more than welcome to reach out for me.
The only advice which i can give you at the moment is take care of yourself and focus on the baby. She or he is blessing.
