Does it ever stop hurting?

Question

I lost my baby at 10 weeks in 2018. I've since had my rainbow and I love both my rainbow baby and first daughter but I cannot seem to feel better that my little baby that didnt make it. I still find myself crying and dont know what to do. Anyone else have ideas to not feel so incomplete...

Answer

Having a baby after a loss doesn’t take away the pain. Rainbow baby arent replacements for the ones you’ve lost. So it’s completely normal and expected to still feel this way. You’re not alone. Grief is inevitable when you lose someone you love, even if you never met them. I lost a daughter in 2016 at 23 weeks. Since then I have had a baby boy and am pregnant again with a baby girl. I also have an older daughter that i had before my loss. And i still cry myself to sleep many nights, or cry when looking at my babies knowing there should’ve been one more. Not a day goes by where i dont think of the baby i lost or think to myself “she would be 3 by now”. I don’t think the pain ever goes away, it just becomes a part of you. And why would you expect it to go away? We lost a baby, a part of ourselves. It’s absurd to think we’ll ever just get over it. But you can find ways to cope with the pain

Answer

Buy or listen to the book, the baby loss guide. It helped me so much, literally has given me peace
