Death and Pregnancy :(

Just needing to vent to other preggos. My mom passed away VERY unexpectedly yesterday at 66 years old. She has always had poor health but I always thought she was too stubborn to die. :( I am the baby of 5 girls and us youngest 3 were raised by her as a single mom. She was my rock!! I am going thru a divorce and am 29weeks today with my 3rd child.....and just dont know what to do. I have 2 beautiful amazing boys who are 11 and 1 and my little princess on the way...that I know I have to be strong for. I just cant stop thinking of how she wont be there with my baby comes. I just keep hoping that this is just a really vivid pregnancy nightmare that I am going to wake up from at any minute. :( Sorry like I said just needed to vent

Thank you all so much for your support and advice! I am a little better today. I think considering all my extra preggie horomones that I am actually handling it all pretty well. I've had a few meltdowns today but made it through and am just taking one day at a time. I am so glad that my Mom taught us to be strong women.

First I am soooo sorry to hear for your loss. I know there are no words to take away the pain you are feeling. I lost my dad six months before I got pregnant suddenly at the age of 48. I went and talked with my Dr who saw me once a week until I felt I could handle it on my own. Don't shut yourself away. The best thing to do it talk to someone. Keep her spirit alive by talking to your children about her. My daughter knows my dad is her pappy. Of course at times they will ask about her and it might re-open that wound but I find it easier to talk about my dad. You are not alone. God is with you. I wish you all the best and will pray for you and your family.

Oh my goodness I am so so sorry for your loss. My dad died on June 1st last year at 67 years old. It is so heartbreaking. I can't imagine losing my mom. Right now its so overwhelming that you really have too much emotions to even know how you feel. In a few weeks you'll start to wonder if ur crazy bc you still cry every day. Its ok. Its normal. A few weeks more you'll realize you hadn't cried in a couple days. I honestly think I cried daily for 2 months. One thing my aunt told my mom about the grief process is that we have to go thru it bc there is no other option. But we don't have to like it! That has helped mom and I a lot. Just remembering we have to keep on trucking with healing, but no one said we have to like it.  Please feel free to inbox me if you'd like to talk more.

Sorry for your loss. No women should deserve to go through any heart break while pregnant. Just remeber your mom is in a better place. I cant say it will be easy with everything going on but remeber you are your kids rock now and talk to your sister maybe venting to them also will help. Prayers for you to be strong through all of this.

I am sorry for your loss sweetheart. I had two deaths in my family also. On January 10th my 3 year old cousin died unexpectedly, never woke up from his sleep. It was by far the hardest thing to see him laying lifeless on the hospital bed. And on February 27th my grandfather passed away of old age. Just try to be strong. Pray for her soul to rest in peace. And look at your beautiful children and say they are the reason I will do what I have to. Your mom passed away but that doesn't mean your life stops. I truly hope you get passed this difficult time with ease.

I am so sorry! Dealing with a loss is hard especially while pregnant. Talk to your doctor about this, he may be able to help with the depression you may go through.
I do not know exactly how you feel, every person deals with a loss differently but I will say I lost my dad very unexpectedly in feburary, I was 16weeks pregnant and if you need someone to talk to then I am here if you need it

I'm really sorry for your loss. I can't say I understand your feelings, because that would be a lie. But I do hope you find healing. xoxo. And maybe you can name your princess after your mother so you will always have a little piece of her close by. Don't be afraid or embarassed to voice your feelings, no one has the right to tell you how you should feel. Cry when you need to and scream when you're p i s s e d. Just let it out whenever you get the chance.
