Having more children after loss

TW

Child loss

First time poster, long time lurker.
I am wanting to know if there is anyone out here in the similar situation….

Has anyone lost a child, (4years old from a known illness)

After a few years of living a childless life, had another then regretted it?

Or did you find it healing?

Note I am early 30s

I see my friends and family with their small kids, part of me misses having a child the other scared part of me, knowing what it’s like to have the challenges of motherhood doesn’t know if I want to do it again.

I have not lost a child so I'm not going to give advice in regards to having another child. I do recognise fear of loss in your post though and I think it's important to see a professional to work through that so you can make a decision. You still have time, don't rush.
