Will these feelings ever subside?

Question

Wednesday we lost Baby C. Friday was my d&c. Last night I didn't sleep more than 30 minutes because I keep thinking about it and growing sadder, angrier, and more depressed.

Everyone in my life is being supportive and positive but I have been so depressed and negative I don't feel like myself and I don't think I could ever be myself again.

Will it ever get better? I feel like my life is over.

Answer

Oh dear... Big big hugs to you! It's still so soon. I want to tell you everything will be ok, but this soon it won't matter to you.  It is normal and healthy to feel so devastated now, as strange as that sounds. I still do too.
We've been through an awful, sad, emotionally debilitating ordeal, and unfortunately it's not over yet.
Take as long as you need. Reach out for help, as hard as it may be.
You WILL pull through this, ok?   Ok!
❤️

I'm very sorry to hear that. The feeling is too familiar to me. I lost my first pregnancy last december. At times i felt like my life was meaningless and that i would never recover. However, i can tell you that it does get better, but it takes time. You have to allow yourself to feel everything. You lost a part of yourself, and not many people can understand that. You will mourn your baby, miss them. And that's ok. Feel everything, don't rush trying to get over it. I believe we just learn to live with this. I personally try to appreciate the (short) time i had my baby inside. I try to remember the beautiful joy they brought into my life and how much they taught me about love, life, family, and about myself. It's normal to feel like you do, but believe me, you are strong. We are so much stronger than we know. Vent and talk with us whenever you need to. I send you a big hug, i hope you find peace and that you may soon start to heal your body and mind. Take care and be kind to yourself. 💛

I'm sorry for your loss. I think everyone in this group can relate to your feelings. It's horrible, but it will get better. You'll have good and bad days. It will seem like everyone else has moved on and you are still stuck being sad, but that's ok. You need extra time to heal. Be patient with yourself and the range of emotions you are feeling. Find an outlet, whether it is sharing how you are feeling here, writing in a journal, praying, talking with a close friend or your SO... I'm sorry you are having to go through this, but just know you aren't alone and there are lots of women here who know what you are going through if you want to talk. It's going to get better. Hugs.
