2 months after death; a new life

[sunnyday123]

There is no "right" way to feel. But you still have a part of your son with you, in your precious Granddaughter. I know this has to be a difficult time for your family.

I agree with many, there is no RIGHT or WRONG way to feel.
And I believe he does see her... just not in the same way as you can.

When you look into her eyes, one day you will see him looking back.
And one day when you hug her, she'll feel her daddy through you.

Bless your new addition

Congratulations Grandma! Look in her eyes and see your son. She is a part of him. That is a gift you have been given.

Beautifully said, and I agree. It may be hard to see and feel right now, but you were very fortunate to be given this gift. I would try to nurture it - there's a whole lifetime of possibilities and new beginnings with this new life that's such a part of your son. Blessings to your family.

Congratulations on the birth of your DGD! Take it one day, one emotion at a time. She is a blessing...what teacups said is beautiful!

 

[KAMKIM]

That is probably very difficult for you and his girlfriend. My thoughts are with you both. I cannot say I understand, because obviously I do not - but I think one day you will look at her and see him, and it will bring you joy instead of sadness. Hang in there and try to bond with her now.

and congratulations on being a grandma!

My heart still breaks for your loss and rejoices for your new addition

When your ready, love that little girl as she is a part of your son. It is okay to do what you want, when you want to.

You remain in my prayers.

I wish for you peace in your heart and soul. Congratulations on the grandbaby and I hope she brings much love and joy into your lives.

 

[luvflorida]

for all that you're going through right now. It is certainly understandable that your emotions are all over the place.

I agree with other posters who have said that somehow, somewhere your son IS looking down on his new baby daughter. Congratulations on becoming a grandma! There is a precious new baby that has come into your life that is a part of your son. I'm going to bet that your granddaughter is going to fill your heart with renewed love and joy.

When you are holding your new baby granddaughter, you are also holding a precious part of your son.

...I can't even fathom the range of emotions you must be feeling...I hope you enjoy many, many happy years with your new grandaughter

 

[TanyaLovesPooh]

It must be terribly confusing for you right now Just remember there are no right or wrong ways to feel and let yourself just feel whatever comes.

I am so sorry for the loss of your son.

Today my deceased son's girlfriend had their baby.

I know I should be so happy, but I am having a hard time getting over him "missing" the celebratory time a new baby brings.

She is a cute little baby, all her fingers and toes.

I don't know what I'm supposed to be feeling.... just so mixed up!

What am I supposed to do?
(this is just a question thrown out to the cosmos, not really expecting/wanting an answer)

You're doing and feeling EXACTLY what you're supposed to. Hang in there, you're healing will come. You'll look at your granddaughter and think, here's part of my son...wow. That little part will ALWAYS be there and hopefully it will help carry you through brighter days. Be blessed.

Three years ago my DD found out that her BFF found her brother dead. One month later he became a father. Their little girl gave the family a lift in spirits. They will never get over the loss of their son at such a young age, and the fact that he never got to see his beautiful little girl, but every time they see the baby they see another piece of her father in her. It is a bittersweet day. Mourn your son but rejoice in your DGD. Through her a piece of your son will always be alive. He is with you but remember you are the one who will get to tell your DGD what a wonderful son and man her father was. Congrats on the baby and to you.

Jill, I am so very sorry for your loss. You never really get over such a thing but in time you do get through it.

Savor that wee Granddaughter and enjoy the bits of your son that you will discover in her!
