Cry for as long and as often as you feel you need to. Crying is a natural part of the mourning process. As a couple and as individuals, it's important that you allow yourselves this time to grieve.

Expect that some friends and family may not know how to respond, and may withdraw for a while. Others, in trying to help, may make thoughtless comments like "I know how you feel", or "You can have another baby". If they haven't lost a baby,
they can't know how it feels, and another baby can never take the place of your baby.

Try not to set too many expectations for yourself. You don't need to add to your anxiety by feeling you should be over this sooner. Be patient with yourself and take the time you need to heal. Remember that no matter what stage your baby
dies, you have a right to grieve.
