DOes nayone have any advice on how to cope with the loss of a baby, especially after going through invitro?

Answer 1

I'm so sorry to hear about your lost.  i'm not sure how religion falls into your life but i believe things like that happens for a reason.  i believe that the Lord needed your little one more than we did.  i can't imagine what your going through but do let yourself release all of that hurt.  cry to get it out and pray, ask the Lord to take the emptiness away and heal your hurting heart.  i'll pray for you and your family..

I am so sorry for your loss.  I know how difficult it can be to lose a baby.  My first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at 10.5 weeks.  My second pregnancy ended with my baby girl dying at 19 weeks.  I have been trying to have a baby for two years now.  I have started infertility treatments and so far the first two have failed.  

Losing a baby is extremely difficult.  Suffering from infertility is also a very long and difficult road.  The two together are overwhelming.  I cried every day for six months after my baby girl died.  

I started seeing a therapist about a month after my loss.  It was very helpful to talk to someone.  I would highly suggest that for you as well.  There are also support groups for women who have lost babies.  You could ask your doctor or the nearest hospital for info on one in your area.  There are also support groups on line for women in this situation.  It often helps to connect with others who are suffering through a similar tragedy.  

Be very good to yourself right now.  You need it and deserve it.  Surround yourself only with people who are supportive and understanding of your loss.  Do things to relax as well as make yourself happy.  

It has been one year and 3 weeks since, I lost my baby.  I am not depressed any more.  I have not forgotten her and I never will but with the passage of time the pain has lessened.  I have yet to lose hope that I will one day be a mother that will hold my healthy child in my arms.  I look forward to that day.  

I wish you strength and peace of mind.  I wish you the best.

First, I'm very sorry for your loss.

All you can do is heal with time.  Allow yourself to feel what you're feeling, don't try to be strong.... losing a baby hurts, so cry if you have to cry, get angry if you have to get angry.  Talking about it helps.  Talk to your partner and close friends.  You never forget, but it does get easier with time.
