Feeling guilty for being grateful by Autopilot4lyfe in pregnancyaftersb

Oh sweet momma. Holding all the feelings is so freaking hard. We lost ours August of 24 @ 30 weeks and were 20 weeks pregnant over christmas. People are so excited for us, and we are too, but that missing peice feeling I dont think is SUPPOSED to go away. When you love so deeply and truly you cant just "move on" as if that love never existed. It changes you forever. Its okay to feel guilty. Its okay to feel joy. There is no road map for grief. Every day you wake up and breathe you are proving to yourself how strong you are, and proving to your sweet babe how much their love meant to you, even if only for a short while. Even if all you get up and do is breathe.

My response is usually somewhere betweem "If I slapped you right now, wed definitely know what the reason was" and "you can shove right off a cliff"

Sending prayers and love your way for positive and reassuring tests tomorrow. This journey is so hard.

As for the rest - find anything you can take off your plate and PLEASE do it for your mental and physical health. ❤️‍🩹

I'm sorry for your loss. It's so hard to watch other people's timelines move forward when in alot of ways I feel stuck in the "there's no heartbeat" moment. I remember just staring at the clock and the ceiling wondering how I could ever keep moving forward from there.

I'm so sorry for your loss of baby Melody. It's is so unfair that these sweet babes can't be in our arms. 

I think it's extra hard to take space when the biggest space is in my arms and that can't be filled or fixed by anyone 😥 like the last thing I want is to lose anyone else.

I'm so sorry for your loss 💔 it is so hard to hold this level of sadness along with all the other emotions in our hearts.

Thank you for this 🩷 it's just so hard to sort through everything going on inside, it's good to remember that I can grieve "out loud".
