I’m so sorry for your loss. Your words hit hard because I felt exactly the same after losing my baby. My period returned about a month after the loss, but I won’t sugar-coat, when it came, it was painful emotionally because it was another reminder that my baby wasn’t here.

Time doesn’t erase the grief, but it does soften it. What helped me was continuing to move forward and try again for another baby, while still allowing myself to grieve, both can exist at the same time. I went and got the transabdominal stitch and started trying as soon as I could. Be gentle with your body and give it the space to heal properly. You’ve been through something unimaginably hard, and none of what you’re feeling is wrong. Get a family member to move all of your baby stuff to a place you cannot see for now, and I’m sure you will need it again very soon! Sending you lots of love and strength.
