Well, 2 weeks have gone by since losing our son Joel. It seems that every tuesday this one and last, tuesdays have not been my day. I mean i knew and expected every tuesday to be an awful reminder of what had happened, but i didnt realize what kind of problem every tuesday would bring. It seems like this tuesday and last tuesday my DH and I both fight with each other to the point where i cant stop crying and am miserable and where he just shuts off and wont talk to me, text me while he is at work, and wont answer a phone call. I feel like I am being punished for not being able to carry my son, now that 2 tuesdays have come, it just seems like every other day is as good as it is going to get under the circumstances, but now i feel like b/c i was a failure as a mother, being as i couldnt even do something like have my son ( i dont feel like a failure for my 9 y/o son), just to this one, i feel like i failed joel, i feel like i failed my dh b/c i couldnt give him his son, i just feel like each tuesday has been my punishment for what i couldnt do and I am so sorry for that, i didnt want it to happen, and i guess i am going to have to just deal with being punished, i just feel like a horrible failure right now and dont know what to do....

Re: 2 weeks have gone by....
Please don't be so hard on yourself. This is not your fault and know you are not being punished. ((hugs))
Hi Butterfly. It very easily could have been me typing that post. We just had our first fight on a bad day (NT scan would've been Tues.) and I have spent the last couple of nights doing nothing but crying and feeling miserable. I said those exact words to my husband last night about feeling like a failure. I know that this was biological in my case and I did nothing to cause it, but I still feel like I failed, my baby and my DH. I am trying really hard, and have had good days, but the past 3 or 4 have been the worst.
I sincerely hope you know that it is not your fault. It's hard to put that in perspective when you're grieving, I know. I try to focus on the fact that I have had some good days. I hope you have too and they you have more in the upcoming days. You are not alone in your feelings, I think we've all been there. We're here for you. {{{hugs}}}.
