i couldn't help but to cry seeing this post! I lost my sister in May 21 her boyfriend stabbed her to death then hung himself and me & my husband found her body! :( she left behind a 14 year old and a 5 year old & I was only 4 1/2 minths pregnant! I was the closest sibling to her! It was very hard :(  especially in her burial! We couldn't even make it a open casket because he had stabbed her all over her face! I've suffered so much after that! And all u can really do is pray to God to help u keep moving forward! That's exactly what I did and u can only hope for the best! I am truly sorry for your loss there isn't really a way to stay strong I know! But I personally think it's better to cry than to hold it in because if u hold it in your baby will feel it more! Good luck Hun it's going to be a challenge but just know she's In a better place! My prayers go out to your family!

Yes babe it is hard but she is young and u can tell her all ur memories of her mom a and when time comes you can tell her the angels needed her help and had to come get her! She'll never leave y'all she's just in a different world!
I had to tell my kids their daddy had to go with god because he's needed more in heaven.

I really want to believe that my baby met her already and she knows him that would make me feel so happy. I'm just so sad my niece is only 3 and will never get to see her mom again and it kills me

It was also my mums and brothers birthday in the middle and end of May which made it very hard. But this will get easier and cope with it how you need to. I drank spatone which had iron in it and I had that with orange juice so I knew that even if I'm not eating and drinking the baby is getting what he needs x

I went through a loss in May. I fount out my mum passed away and it was unexpected. I was also worried because the baby and it made it really hard because I wanted my mum with me through so much of the pregnancy. Nothing anyone could say would help. People would tell me to eat and drink and I knew I had to because of the baby but it was so hard. I think I have pulled through the worst of it. I still have my bad moments but it will get easier. I am thinking of you x

Don't worry about stressing out the baby they are tough little guys and you worrying about him/her will only add to it. Cry all you want, eat all you want, and sleep all you want. Loosing someone is hard enough when you're not pregnant but 10x harder when you are cuz you already have so many emotions and hormones going crazy. I'm so sorry that happen but don't let anyone tell you how to grieve or when you should stop. If it helps think about holding your precious little one soon, once again I'm so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss! It may not be blood family, but I lost my beat friend when I was 26 weeks pregnant. It is very hard to go through something like this during pregnancy. Just remember to breathe and take it day by day. Keeing you and your family in my prayers (if that's okay)
