Moving on after miscarriage
I've been having a really hard time moving on since my miscarriage in September. It was my first pregnancy and I lost our baby at 7 weeks. My husband has a three year old daughter from a previous relationship and is currently going back through court to have some things changed in the custody papers. All of this has been going on during the time that my miscarriage happened and it is still ongoing so I feel like we haven't had time to mourn the loss of our baby (which I know sounds incredibly selfish).
Last night I was eating dinner at my in laws and my sister-in-law asked me if my husband had told me that my stepdaughter is going to have a cousin. I'm really happy for them but I'm upset because my husband and everyone else in the room had already known for days. I had told my husband the night before that I thought his sister was going to tell us that she was pregnant and that I was glad she didn't because I was hoping that I wouldn't get caught off guard. I was sure I wouldn't be able to keep from crying and I didn't want to make it seem like I was trying to overshadow their great news. When I told my husband that he had already been told the news but he didn't say anything to me. I know that it isn't his news to tell but I don't think that his family is really aware of the pain that my miscarriage is still causing...he does. I was able to keep it together until we left but once I got into my own car (my husband and I drove to dinner separately because of work) I couldn't stop crying. I haven't talked to him about it yet because we were celebrating Christmas with my stepdaughter but I know I will have to talk to him about it tonight. I feel like he doesn't really get how losing our baby has really hurt and changed me and I was hoping I could get some advice before our talk so maybe I can show him my point of view in a way that he would understand.
