We are so sorry for the loss of your baby. You may be surprised at the intensity of your feelings. Expect a difficult time. For a while you may feel empty, depressed, experience intense sadness, or have trouble sleeping. You might find that you fight with your husband, or neglect our other children. You may feel the need to be a child yourself, to be loved and cared for. All this is normal.

You will most likely experience some of these feelings:

• Emptiness
• Intense Sadness
• Crying (sometimes uncontrollably)
• Isolation and loneliness
• Guilt or shame
• Anger
• Loss of interest in everyday life
• Talking about it all the time or finding it too
  painful to discuss
• Pain or jealousy at the sight of pregnant women,
  babies or anything related to motherhood

There is no sequence. Even after you have dealt with these feelings, they can recur. Although guilt is a normal part of grief, be reassured that nothing you did or didn't do caused the death of your baby.
Your pain will lessen over time as you accept your loss.

Sharing your feelings with your spouse, your doctor, or a friend, can help. In some communities, there are support groups for couples who have experienced pregnancy loss. Turn to God if you find it comforting. Many find great solace in their faith.
