will writing a letter to my baby that didn't make it before birth will it make me feel better

Question

I don't have a journal but maybe writing something sweet will make me feel a little better? Like a letter this would of been my first and I never had the chance to meet him or her 😪💔

Answer

It's definitely a good idea love. I've lost 4 babies and I wrote a letter for each of them. I know it's hard to deal with and the time will come when you will have a healthy little angel in your arms. What helped me a lot was thinking that maybe something was wrong with the baby and my body knew it so it saved the baby from a lifetime of possible pain and problems. That's honestly the only way I was able to push through. Just know the time will come when you will have a healthy pregnancy ❤️

Answer

I lost a baby girl last year at almost 14 weeks, and one of the things the social worker at the hospital suggested as a coping mechanism was writing a letter to her. I didn't do it for a while, but when my husband and I were ready to try for another baby I started to feel guilty and emotional all over again. Even though it brought all the hurt feelings up to the surface again, I did sit down and write a letter to her to explain what happened, how losing her made us feel, and how we would never forget her. It may sound cliche but it ended up being an incredible release and provided me with a better sense of closure.  I am really sorry for your loss! My suggestion is, if you think it might help, try writing the letter, but don't force it and if it doesn't feel right then you can always try something else. There are probably lots articles online with tips for grief coping techniques.

Answer

Yes! It has helped me! Also, naming the baby.

Answer

Definitely write a letter! Let it all out. Express yourself. I'm so sorry for your loss!
