How do you move on???

Question

The emotions that I have right now are so difficult to deal with. I lost my baby in May...tried again and really thought I had my rainbow baby...but no. During that time of waiting my husband deployed, so when I got my big fat NO I was all alone. I have two beautiful children already and I'm trying so incredibly hard not to completely fall apart and remember how blessed I am. Any advice would be welcomed....I'm really struggling through this.

Answer

I just had my second miscarriage and I lost my father two years ago as well, honestly I don't think you ever move on when you lose someone. You just get stronger and it starts to get easier. It's ok to fall apart, but you will pick yourself back up and put the pieces together. I can't say the pain will go away and you won't be the same, but I promise life moves on and it gets easier. You just have to endure and let life take its coarse and start to heal you. It will happen I promise.

Answer

I think pregnancy loss is tremendously difficult regardless of whether you already have children and I'm so sorry. I have no children of my own, but a beautiful stepdaughter. I am experiencing my third pregnancy loss; my second miscarriage and a molar pregnancy in between. 
I have found that the best thing to do is lean on those you love, stay positive, accept what you cannot control and yes, remember how fortunate you are. With your husband gone, it is harder to find comfort, but look to your children, friends and extended family. Don't hesitate to talk about your feelings if you feel like you want/need to. You may be blessed with children already, but you also experienced loss and you are entitled to all of your feelings. Believe you will become pregnant again and trust your body to do what it should. I know it is hard to accept, but our bodies are amazing and built to make these selections- we have to trust in that :) When I was in the worst of this, my husband reminded me how lucky we are to have what we do, our love and if it has to be it is enough and we will still be happy! Be strong! Good luck!

Answer

I know it's hard, but try to hang in there. Focus on those beautiful babes you have. I know what you are going through. Best wishes.

Answer

Thank you both for sharing your story with me...and I'm sorry for your losses as well. You're very kind to take the time to lift me up. It's greatly appreciated. Good luck to you both:)
