sad about being pregnant

Ok here goes I lost my mother in may of this year. We were extremely close then to top it off I moved to a new state not even 3 weeks after her death (not by choice) i got pregnant not even a month later for some reason Im struggling with thinking she died so I could have this baby a lot went on during that brief time I was addicted strongly to anxiety medication I also think this baby was God's way of saving my life because the death of her still kills me this is the first time I've really spoken about this im married with 4 kids and have had to be strong because my kids are old enough to remember their granny and miss her. I struggle with guilt thinking she died to make room for me to have this baby that old wives tale God takes a life to give a life and my baby is due the same time mom died. Am I weird

I truly understand were u r coming from. My mom passed away may 5 of this year and me n my husband had  been trying to get pregnant for three years. Exactly two months after my mom pass I found out,I was pregnant. It has been real hard for me then when I found out it was a boy it got harder. Cause this would have been her first grandson. so I know your pain just pray n put it in God hand. If u need someone to talk to inbox me.

Hi, my husband and I are preachers and if I may say... God does not take life to give life. That is what Jesus was for. He was the only death that was required to give life. He loves you and he loves your baby. Don't let Satan come at you with lies to distract you from the gift God has given you. I'm very sorry you lost your mother I can't imagine the pain and grief out had caused you. But please please please don't let the enemy trick you into thinking

You are not alone!  It's wonderful that your kids got to know your mom..their grandma.  I lost my mom when I was 18...so 14 years ago and not a day goes by I don't think about her.  I have 17ish days left with my third and I've been really emotional....missing my mommy greatly. Just wish she could be here to see her grandkids grow and to help me with this one.  I know she is always around us but it's just not the same.  Keep your chin up....your mom may not be there in body but she is there in spirit.
