Dealing with a miscarriage while sister in law is pregnant

Teresa • Married 7-19-2014💜 July 2020 🌈👶🏻

This has been one of the toughest weeks emotionally I’ve ever endured. I’ve been so ready for this baby for a year and a half, and it finally happened on Father’s Day! My husband and I couldn’t have been happier.

Starting Monday, 7/1, I got severe cramps and started to bleed, the miscarriage started. I of course was devastated and couldn’t even focus at work. To top it all off my sister in law is 5 months pregnant and her gender reveal was on Thursday. I love her and that baby so much but it causes me so much pain to be around her and see that beautiful growing baby bump.

I know she’s trying to be supportive with what I’m going through but it’s hard talking about it when she really doesn’t know what it’s like.

Do anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this while still be supportive towards my sister in law?
