Island Girl,
I am very sorry for your loss. Everyone's grieving process is very different, and requires time (and sometimes professional assistance). Do you feel that your partner, friends and family are providing the emotional support that you need?
In addition to the wonderful responses you've received so far, here are a few resources that you might find useful:
- How to Cope with Infertility provides some great suggestions on how to handle tough questions/comments from others, as well as how to let your family and friends know how to help
- Resolve or The American Fertility Association (AFA) provides options for Support Groups in your area, where you can connect with other women or couples who are going through similar loss. You can also ask your doctor or clinic for recommendations to individual or group support groups; these groups may meet in person or online.
