Nearing "due date" after MC

My husband and I found out in April at 16 weeks that our baby had stopped growing at 12-13 weeks. After a D&E, and then a repeat D&C for retained materials, we are finally cleared to start TTC again.  Our original due date was October 5 and as hard as this entire experience has been,  I feel I've held my composure quite well.  But with our original due date fast approaching, and all the friends/family in my personal cycle-buddy circle approaching their due dates, I'm having a hard time holding it together at night.  Did anyone else find it hard to pass their due date after a m/c and does it get easier once that hurdle is passed?
