Death in The Family

[CScottBrownen04]

How does one cope with a lost in the family without feeling like they are putting there body under so much strain? My husband lost his Dad on April 2nd, It's been hard on us. We're finally giving him his first grandson.. Now he's gone. My husband even told him earlier that day that we got 3D pictures of our boy. He was excited to see them. I've been in nothing but pure pain physically, my back has been hurting nonstop, I've had a headache that refuses to go away, My belly is extremely sensitive to the touch, I feel so dehydrated. I'm only 33wks, I'm doing my best to relax and be there for my husband. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

(This is my fourth and last pregnancy)

I'm sorry for your loss, my grandfather died on march 23, so I know it can be hard to not stress. My father died on April 2nd 10 years ago so I know how much I hate that date. Your are about to give your husband such a wonderful gift to help with his sadness. I just remind myself that they get to share in our joy, they loved these babies before they were even born. Try to get rest and good luck. So sorry for your families loss.

I lost my aunt the 11th ofJanuary the day after another one of my cousins had her baby shower and it was hard. Not only because it was very sudden but because there hasn't been a death in my immediate family in 20 years. My fiancee has been helping me cope but at my baby shower last night amidst the smiles I did have a private moment in the bathroom. It does get easier with love and support. Though nothing can ever really fill the void

Although it's been since July 2014, the loss of my beloved daddy is overwhelming some days! I never really had a proper grieving process as I am the caregiver of all others including my mom and kids. My daddy used to always talk about the cycle of life and how it is so miraculous, so I think of this often. I miss the fact that I can't share all the details with him and that this is the only grandchild that won't truly know her papa but I will do my best to instill all he has in each of us.

Praying for all of you going through death in the family.  I can imagine how hard that is.  I would have such a hard time celebrating baby while the ones close to me are hurting so much.  Pray pray and pray some more.

Same here. I just lost my grandfather on March 4th and it's be so hard on me bc I was extremely close to him . I've went through all kinds of emotions and have had nightmares . I would talk to a grief counselor if you can my grandma told me to do that an when I pray it helps . Not sure If your religious or not but that's what I'm trying it's gotten better but definitely it's hard bc this is his first great grand child and he would talk about her so much and sound happy and I have till next month and he won't be able to see her. It's a process but I felt faint, weak, dizzy it's probably anxiety. I feel like you should be okay but whatever I feel I go with bc I know I'm only human and I'm trying to cope as much as I can. I hope things get better for you and your husband ! My husband has definitely been a support for me so I find comfort leaning on him at times and crying.
