My Husbands sister just passed away.
She was 15.
Someone slipped her drugs into her drink at a party. 4 hours later, and 3 seizures she is dead.
How can I cry and greive without hurting myself and baby?
My heart is broken.
My grandpa is dying, and said good bye to me and then talked to my belly. This was on the same day I found out about my sister.
How do you cope with this? Any thoughts? Breathing techniques?

I agree with the pp's, holding in your grief will only make you feel worse and probably put more stress on your LO. Let yourself grieve how you need to and talk to your doctor and share your concerns with them.
I will be praying for you and your husband and his family. Allow yourself to grieve how you need to and be prepared to help your husband too, everyone reacts differently and that is ok, but if things start getting too stressful I would strongly suggest you and him seek professional help.
Again I am so very sorry

I am so sorry for your family's loss.
People say stress isn't healthy for the baby but grieving and crying will in no way harm your baby. You will only make yourself feel worse if you try to keep everything inside, let it out and show your emotions. You will need to be there for your husband as well so make sure you support each other and communicate your feelings. Give yourselves time to focus on yourselves and each other and see if there are other friends/family that can help you out at home for a while. The only way you can heal is to let it out.
Let it out. Talk to someone. Baby is very well protected in there, but holding in all that stress and grief isn't good for you...pregnant or not.
I lost my husband due to a car accident in April when I was 10 weeks, and obviously have been dealing with much grief and stress since - I have found talking it out and crying to be much healthier than holding it in.
