funeral while pregnant
Well I lost my grandfather this week and will be going to a funeral this weekend. I've never gone to one while pregnant and I'm scared I am going to stress the baby out. When I found out he passed I cried and got some bad cramps and actually felt so sick and exhausted later that night I fell asleep at 8. Just wondering if anyone else has gone thru this..what is some good advice on how to keep myself from overstressing?
Thank you all for the good advice :)
Sorry for your loss hun, I just lost my father in law a couple of weeks ago and attended the funeral and of course cried a lot....but I realized that he is now in a better place and well taken care of. I do anything to keep myself busy and try not to think about it too hard. Not saying forget about him because that's impossible but when I do it's something that makes me smile then a tear falls but nothing is wrong with that..He wouldn't want you stressing yourself out about something you had no control over.. He'll be watching over you and your baby so smile, you have an angel
So sorry for ur loss.. I lost my father a lil over a month ago and I'm 39 weeks pregnant. I cried and cried for days. To relieve my stress I made sure I wasn't by myself. I was always around family and I found that helped me alot. I cried at his funeral too but it wasn't as stressful because I prayed and he also looked at peace when I finally did get to see him for the last time. Hope this helps hun.. Praying for u and ur family.
Thank you alid32 I will definitely try that.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Not much to do to avoid the stress itself. But finding some coping techniques that work for you will be key. Taking things one day at a time, allow yourself to cry, but try to continue with regular activities to keep yourself from dwelling too much, take care of yourself- eat well, take a bath, take a nap, listen to your comfort music etc. Do whatever you usually do to de-stress. Again sorry for your loss mama:(
