Coming from someone who has been in your shoes once before, your feelings are not crazy. Truth is you never really "get over it". It will get better over time, but there are times when my DH and I still wonder "was it a girl or boy?" "what would they have been like?" and it has been 2 years.
We waited a year to try to conceive again and I just want to warn you that there will be fear with your second pregnancy and that is also very normal. Until I heard my sons heartbeat on an u/s, I didn't breathe a sign of relief. And even then I still felt like I wouldn't truly be relieved until my baby was born.
Miscarriages are more common than we think, ever since I spoke about my experience I found out that my mother in law had one, and three other friends either had one or know someone who did.
I know it's hard-- but when you finally get your "rainbow" baby, you will appreciate his or her life so much more thanks to this experience. Congratulations on your engagement and good luck conceiving when you are ready!
