I lost my lovely 14 year old furbaby to cancer whilst pregnant at 26 weeks. It's now been a month and I've been trying to process the grief whilst also being super excited for the baby to arrive, but I'm now being filled with a bit of dread and fear at the baby's arrival. I'm really struggling with the passage of time and knowing that when I give birth, my dog, Lily, (who has been with me since I was 15!) will never meet them and will also have been gone for about 3 months.
Has anyone else dealt with this and have you got tips on how to process grief without it consuming you. The hormones are really doing a number on me, I'm barely sleeping, and it's a success if I make it through the day by only crying the once.
We do still have our other dog who has been an absolute life saver but she's very different!
