Grief and pregnancy

[MrsMcLeareJones]

My dad passed away about 13 hours ago...I feel like someone ripped my heart out and I dont know how to cope. Im 19 weeks and 5 days pregnant with my first child and now he will never meet her. I cant sleep...dont want to eat. Anyone gone through this? will it get easier?

I'm so sorry for your loss. Time heals all wounds so be patient with yourself to heal. Join a grief counseling support group if that helps, it helps to talk to others who relate and learn good coping skills through this on how to deal with such pain. When my mom died my dad told me she was not in pain anymore rocking out in sparkly pjs in heaven. It was a nice thought to know or believe they are in a better place even if it was to soon for her to go. You can always talk to them even though they aren't physically there, he's always in your heart listening I'm sure. Thats what got me through anyways. I hope you are ok, please try to eat and remember the good times. <3

In my family there is always a death and then we find out someone is expecting, its kind of like there are too many of us so the Lord takes one to make room for another one. For my pregnancy it was my grandmother on my dads side. I know it's not exactly the same as losing a parent, but it hurts all the same. Just make sure to keep pictures and tell stories and keep his memory alive, don't let it hurt to talk about him. I'm so sorry for your loss and I hope your father is at peace now. I wish you the strength and love you need to get through this.

My grandfather passed 10 days before the birth of my youngest daughter...he was like a father to me. I was there when he passed and it was very hard on me. But the birth of my daughter eased some of the pain. It is difficult 6 years later, but even tho she never met him she talks about him as though she did. Pictures and conversations about him help tremendously. Praying for you and yours!

Im so sorry for your loss. My sister, my only sib, was with me for the births of my first two children. But she passed away just after my 4th. Even now 4 years later, labor is kind of bittersweet because I know that she wont be there and my little guy has no idea who she is and this one wont either. But we keep pics and the older kiddos help to tell stories. Your pain will lessen, but it will take time.
in my thoughts and prayers-

I'm so sorry. But, yes it does get easier with time. I threw myself into what arrangements had to be made and tried to stay busy. Then I was a zombie for a week. There are still times I have moments when it hits me & it's been 7 years. But the day to day gets easier. Hope you feel better soon

June 8th I lost my mom. I was pregnant but didn't know it. I thought the stress of the loss had kept me from starting my cycle. However I decided after 8 days off no cycle to test just to make sure. And sure enough I am.  I take it one day at a time. Each day things , matter how small they are , keep getting easier to handle. The storm shall pass my friend.  Remember that your little blessing was his too and he would want you to keep it healthy. Try to eat even if its small amounts. I know it's hard. I had to force myself and some days are so very hard but I just think of her and what she would say and I do it. It's ok to cry for him. But if anything  please remember that things get a little easier to cope with as time passes. Hold on to family and they will guide you through. God bless sweetheart!

You can do this! I feel your pain, my father took his life a year and a half ago, I had then found out I was pregnant they put my date of conception to the exact day he passed, it was a grieving pregnancy, I then miscarried, my daughter thought he took her baby to heaven....it was horrible. But now I'm pregnant again, I'm further along and all I can think about is holding my baby when it comes, just because ur dad passed doesn't mean he's gone I'm sure he's watching over you and very proud! Be strong, you can do this!

[klg22]

He will be watching over you and your baby xo. Call your doctor and take whatever help you can get. Keep good company with positive friends.  

You can do this.

I wish you peace to bring you comfort, strength to heal and loving memories to forever hold in your heart.
