Hello ladies.
My husband and I lost our beautiful Daughter at 21 weeks. Although we have both received overwhelming support from our family & friends I can't help but feel alone & totally miserable & depressed.
I know it's normal and part of the grieving process but my emotions go from 1 extreme to the next. One that has stayed with me is extreme guilt. I feel so guilty driving past the cemetery and not going in, I feel guilty for laughing & for not thinking about her every minute of the day.
When she was born her umbilical cord was twisted like a telephone cord and although we don't know if this was the cause of her death & still awaiting autopsy results it's painful to think she could have died slowly.
I see other baby girls & it breaks my heart, but I can't help but feel like having another baby will bring her back to me, has has anyone else felt like this? Is it normal?

I'm so sorry for your loss, it's ok to feel whatever you feel. There is no right or wrong. Big hugs xxx
Find yourself a good grief counsellor. It's a long road and there are many versions of normal. What you've described is pretty normal -guilt.
I am so sorry for your loss x
