Oh Kristy, I think of you often. Little Gabrielle will be with you every day of your life.

It's Ok, go ahead and grieve. Think of her every day if that is what you need (and I know that is what I would need), but you must find a ray of sunshine in every day if you can, for yourself, and for your family. Have faith in God that he is keeping her safe and happy.

Feel what you need to feel and take your time. You have been through a major loss. Try and eat though...you need to keep up your strength.

God bless you!

Oh Kristy, here are some more {{hugs}} for you! You just handle the grief at your own pace - you've been thru something horrible! Gabrielle is now your guardian angel in heaven, she'll always be with you and will always be a part of your family. I've been thinking about you a lot, and you're in my prayers. {{Hugs}}

You'll start to feel better when it's time, and not a minute before. It will happen, but it can't be rushed. You're in a natural part of the grieving process. If you try to rush it artificially, it <i>will</i> come back to haunt you later.

Do try to eat and take care of yourself. You do need to take it easy, since your body has been through a lot, but you need to nourish it so that you can heal physically. It will help your emotional healing as well. When we first found out that my pregnancy wasn't viable, I made DH take me home and told him I didn't ever want to eat. He told me he had to get something for himself, but he went out and got me a hamburger, fries, and a big iced tea (all the things I hadn't let myself have when I was pregnant), and I think it was the best meal I ever had.

Hi Kristy,
You should contact your hospital for a grief support group. I think you would benefit from it.
Hugs to you and try to take care of yourself.

The only thing that concerns me is not eating. Sometimes we have to make ourselves eat...your other children need you healthy.

As far as when you should feel better, there is no right or wrong timetable. When someone first dies, there is so much to do and people are around. I personally find the hardest time is AFTER everything is over, with the worst being a week or so after the funeral.

Give yourself time. {{{hugs}}}

{{hugs}} Kristy. Take your time in healing, it has got to be hard and I am sure it will take a while for you to "get back to normal". We are all here for you.

Kristy,
I just wanted to let you know that we had a similar tragedy touch our family 2 years ago. My brother and SIL lost their child two weeks before his birth. It was one of the saddest things that I've ever been a part of, and my heart just broke for them and breaks now for you. I know that it must have been particularly hard waiting for the birth. The truth is though, as sad as we were for them, we did not know Marshall and really could not grieve him. Certainly, had he lived he would have been loved to pieces, just like the rest of the bunch (I have 15 nieces and nephews), but he was not real to us. You and DH have lost Gabrielle, whom you loved and will continue to love. She was your daughter, and you will grieve her as such. I think that people often forget that when the child is not real to them.
Try to take care of yourself...
Kelli
