Any still birth moms who have gotten through it have a pep talk for one who is new to it?

The days are going to feel long, and you’ll feel like you’ll never be able to move from it, but I promise you, you’ll find your baby in all the little things in life. I did not experience a stillborn, my son had died during birth, but we are all one big grieving club. It’s okay to do things alone, and take time for yourself. You don’t owe anyone anything. Therapy may or may not work, and that’s okay. I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this ❤️‍🩹 just remember, grief doesn’t get any easier, you just learn to deal with it.

My situation is due to medical complications and I don’t wanna let go but I know I have to. I’m by myself with it all and I jus wanna hear ima be ok from somebody who’s been there ya kno?

I lost a baby born prematurely so not quite the same thing. But I feel you. You need to just focus on healing. I'm about 9 months down this road. Like me, take things a minute at a time if you have to. Don't hide from the grief. It is an ordinary process that must happen. And it offers answers to the questions you sometimes have as you go along. You will eventually find things are more manageable. Countless women before you, in parallel to you and after you, will experience stillbirth/baby loss and as they have managed, so will you. That's not to diminish your experience. It's impossible to do that . I am sorry for your loss and the loss of a whole life your baby had ahead of him/her. I just want to say you will find a way, like they did/do/will do. This is a sad part of the human experience and we're just very unlucky to be part of it.

Good morning @Mas Thank you darling for sharing. I appreciate it and welcome it as this is a long road ahead of me as I’m preparing for it all. Truly lovely thank you

I’m still working through it, it’s been a bit over 5 months. So this isn’t quite a pep talk exactly, but hopefully helpful. But allow yourself to feel everything, the good and the difficult. Let yourself cry when you need to cry and laugh when you need to laugh. I don’t think we really ever move on or truly get through it, because I believe you will forever think of them and daily. But give yourself grace. And don’t forget that you are still a mama even if your sweet little isn’t earthside. And also, saying their name out loud can be so helpful. Especially on days that you feel like you are the only one that still remembers them and is still mourning. You won’t let them be forgotten. 🩷
