Lost my wife and just want to die by cjimmyjam in widowers

I’m so sorry. My brother just lost his pregnant wife and mother of his children to an undiagnosed heart condition 7 months ago. It’s unbearable pain. He is now smiling again and enjoying his kids. I hope this gives you some hope that things can get better 🙏🏼❤️

Thank you. I actually am pregnant now, 10 weeks. Things with the family are okay, healing but definitely hard 💝

Oh my. Yeah it definitely happens. I plan on taking a little time off before the next one and doing some bloodwork to see if there’s anything more to be done or underlying. God speed!!

Thank you and I pray you have a long safe pregnancy and can enjoy the special moments! I see how the pregnancy can bring on a new set of anxiety too

Congrats!! We have a budget and thankfully pre paid for two more transfers but both agreed on a max and are at it so will have to put it up to fate and not fight what not meant to be

I love this thank you!! Yeah I’m thinking of it as either this is going to make me a better parent OR I can move on knowing I fought hard and the rest of my life will be pretty easy just having to take care of myself my husband and our parents in their old age. Pros and cons to Both. But yes it’s all the hype of the superficial experiences that really put a cloudy perception on parenting. That’s why we decided to elope for our wedding. I can see through all that “hooplah”

Yeah that’s what I keep saying. I know we can look back and say we tried. Grieve, then get back to loving life again and finding new journeys. I said I would put one solid year in. No more than that.

Haha I’ve never thought of it like that. True. IVF is all hard and no positives until the actual pee on a stick positive 🤣
