Late Term and Child Loss

Intro

After 4 1/2 years of failed ivf I got pregnant with twins on my own. At 17 weeks we lost one of the twins with half heart syndrome. We had a baby girl three weeks ago and I'm having a hard time with the loss of her brother. My 4 1/2 year old asked about the other twin yesterday and I have been a mess ever since. I know this is going to take time I just thought I would be much better by now.

    Oh sweetie, Im sorry. Sending ((hugs)) your way. Its so sweet when the little ones remember the babies who passed, but its a knife in the heart at the same time. You are coping as an adult, while your 4 1/2yo is coping like the precious child they are: all innocence and questions. Add on top of that, you are mothering a surviving twin. That in itself is difficult, as I am sure the other ladies who are doing so will tell you.

    Im 14 months out from our loss. There are still days that are very hard to cope. It does truly take time, and time will not heal all the wounds. Time just makes them more bearable some days. Big ((hugs!))
