Grieving Loss

I think the hardest part about early loss, especially for us first time mothers, is that we are just starting to get used to the idea of being pregnant and beginning our plans for the next year and then suddenly you aren't expecting anymore. One book I have talks about how it is helpful to recognize that you and your husband are grieving different things -- you each had your own hopes and dreams about your baby. Over the past week my partner and I have had some ups and downs, sometimes he's the only one I can talk to about it and other times I hate how he acts about our loss. Try to use your extended network for support and not just your husband, it can help a little in my experience. But do let yourself grieve.
