Dealing with death while pregnant

Has anyone had the circumstance of having a family member pass away while your pregnant? My father passed in October 2014 and one of my fav cousins has been in the hospital for 5 days brain dead. I try to stay calm but its very difficult. My due date is 3/8/15.

I lost my grandfather a few months ago at the beginning not my pregnancy. .with a good support system it was easier. I truly believed he was in a better place. Somehow carrying a child made it alot easier to deal with.

Sorry I hit post on accident. It was hard dealing with my grandmothers loss but I pulled thru. The hardest part was seeing my mom in so much pain. I was about 10 weeks when that happened. Then, just a few weeks ago my hubby's good friend passed away from Luekemia.  We are still getting thru that. It's been hard but we try to remain positive and this k about the time we did get to spend with them. I'm very sorry for your loss. Stay strong

Yes, I lost my aunt in October 2014 and was about 16wks. It definitely wasn't easy, but having a good support system behind you really helps. I wish you the best
