Late Term and Child Loss

Feeling lost

My baby Evan was born on Dec. 22nd asleep. Today is my first day home alone and I can't stop crying. My mom comes into town tonight and now I realize I do need her here. I don't know what to do with myself, I just feel so lost, like why did this have to happen. I wanted him so much. I know he was very sick but it just seems so unfair. I know so many people having babies and I was so excited to be a mom with them. I know this is just all rambling, sorry.

Re: Feeling lost

  • I'm so sorry for your loss.The first few days, weeks, months are one giant fog. In the beginning it's a good day if you make it from the bed to the couch. It sucks losing a child.

  • I am so very sorry. Allow yourself to feel everything, and realize there are many stages of grief. I recommend reading Empty Cradle, Broken Heart. I'll even mail it to you if you want to pm me your address.

  • I'm so very sorry for the loss of your Evan.  I have felt (and still sometimes feel) everything that you are feeling right now.  You're right - it isn't fair.  I hope having your mom with you brings you some comfort.

  • I'm so sorry for the loss of Evan. I just lost my angel Ethan two weeks ago and I still feel like I'm watching a movie starring someone else. I agree with PPs and just take it hour by hour.

  • I am sorry for the loss of your Evan.  *hugs*  I remember my first day alone very vividly.  For me, I didn't want to talk, I just didn't want to be alone.  I had alot of anxiety too.  I agree with PP, the first few days, weeks, months are a fog.  Take care of yourself and find victory in the small steps.

  • I'm so sorry for the loss of your little Evan.  I pretty much spent the first week in bed either crying or surfing the web, hoping to find some answers, information, or help.  The women of this board proved to be a wonderful support system.  I also started to keep a journal to help me channel some of my thoughts and feelings.
