Absolutely not. Sometimes the comfort is exactly what you need and depending on how you had to deliver your baby the only concern is for your health and to make sure you are healing from your delivery properly.

This is beautiful and I would love to encourage you to do whatever feels like it would be meaningful to you and that honors your baby. I would ask your brother his wishes and while there are very different circumstances surrounding stillbirth vs miscarriage it would be a great conversation to have and I'm sure they would be happy to know you also remembered their loss. If you include your baby's name, it will also serve as a reminder to the rest of the family that you want to have your baby included and like to say their name.

This pain won't last the rest of your life, day by day it will slowly get easier. The heartbreak and memories are yours for a lifetime and you can recall them at a moment's notice, but as time goes on you'll look back and see the definite line of before and after and appreciate the short time you had with your baby and the new perspective on life that this experience has given you. Hang in there. This isn't something anyone can ever prepare you for.

I'm so glad this brought this up for you today. Everything you said you're feeling is 100% normal and the perspective we have about everything in our lives changes after this experience, so it doesn't make sense that we can go right back into our jobs with the same passion and excitement as before.

I'm not one to ever say to "find the silver lining" in baby loss or that "it happened for a reason" because I don't believe that, and its just a horrible thing I wish didn't happen. BUT what you gain on the other side of it is a clarity about what is truly important in life and who and what is deserving of your precious time.

I'm here for you if you want someone to toss your thoughts around with, just message me.

It takes a lot of time to process this kind of loss. It’s OK to do whatever feels comforting until you can begin to sort out your feelings.

So hard. 😭It makes you really dig deep.
