When will I feel ‘normal’ again?

Question

We lost our baby in May...I was 10 weeks but new there was something wrong at 8 weeks. 
I’ve had 3 periods since...just finishing my third. 
I feel so down at the moment. More than when it first happened. All I think about is how far pregnant I should be and maybe that it’s never going to happen for us. I feel like I’m pushing my husband away. I know I’m not myself at all but just can’t shake this mood off. 
I feel like I’m not normal feeling this low. 
Has anyone felt similar and how did you deal with it or pull yourself together?

Answer

I am so glad I am not the only one feeling this way. I also lost my little boy at 10 weeks this May. He had trisomy 21 so it helped a little to know I didn’t do anything to cause this. But now everyone I know around me is getting pregnant and all I can this about is we would have had him in a few months. I want to be happy for everyone but it hurts so much. I just wish I had him still.

Answer

I write in a journal to my angel baby daily. I tell him my feelings and tell him how much we miss him and all the things that are going on in our life. It makes me feel like i am still connected to him. I hope it will help you too.

Answer

Life will become a new normal. I’ve had multiple miscarriages and lost my 5 month old son. Grief doesn’t go away but is ever changing. You will learn how to be happy while sad. Some days will be hard and others much easier. Give yourself time and mercy. I’m sorry you have to be a part of this club. ❤️

Answer

there can be no time limit on healing. we miscarried a baby in the April and although heartbroken I managed to hold off completely losing it until around November when someone took the trolly I wanted in the supermarket and I completely broke down and cried for hours. quite funny now that I cried over a trolly, but I hadn't allowed myself all the time I needed and felt I had to be strong. don't push your husband away, he'll be hurting too, I'm sorry what you're going through xxx

Answer

As hard as it is, let your husband be there for you. I did the same thing, my husband ended up breaking. When we get wrapped up in our grief it's hard to remember it hurts them just as much as us. You'll feel much better with your husband support. Don't give up, when you're ready you will get your rainbow. It's going to hurt and it's going to hurt for awhile, it's learning what to do with all that hurt. eventually it gets a little easier to get through the day. Losing a baby is something no woman should ever had enough to go through. it's the hardest thing I personally ever experienced. I wish you the best, I hope the hurt gets a little easier to deal with.
