How do you get over losing your first child?

Last year I found out I was pregnant with my boyfriends child and ended up losing it because of the stress that his dads new ‘wife’ had put me through. This woman is horrible. Blamed me for everything and anything that went wrong, broke, or wasnt done even if I wasnt in the house. At that time I was living with them because of some sticky situations at my parents house. Anyways. This woman did anything and everything she could to make my life a living hell and Ill never forgive her for taking what she did from me. My question is.. How do you get over losing your first child? Let alone losing it like that?

Answer #1

My mother suggested trying for another one.. I discussed it or at least tried to with my boyfriend and he said not till were both steady on our feet. She also said that you never really get over something like that. That you just have to manage to live with it.. I’ve already tried doing work with kids and it really only made things worse.. I’ve concidered going back to therapy about this but I dont know if its really worth it or not as.. Odd or bad as that sounds..

Answer #2

I am so sorry for your loss - you can’t redo or continue to live in the past - not easy but you must find a way (suggest strength through prayer) to forgive…for YOUR sake - I wish you every happiness here, forward.

Answer #3

I no how you feel. except for the women part lol. you just got to take time and talk to friends about what happened. it helps a lot. it might take a while to get over it but you will get over it slowly

Answer #4

You dont forgive someone for doing that. I would take some theraphy & maybe work as a volenteer with kids. Seeing kids will probably brighten your day :D

Answer #5

You have to stop blaming this woman for what happened - you won’t be able to move on if you remain angry and full of hatred. It must be so horrible to miscarry or have a still birth, but you can’t necessarily blame her - miscarriges happen. I don’t want to make it sound unimportant, because obviously it is. Allow yourself time to grieve, and then try for another baby if you want one. Of course you’ll never fully get over it, and you’ll always wonder what your child would have been like, but give yourself time, and don’t expect the pain to go away quickly. I guess only time can heal these things.
