How do I deal with losing my baby to SIDS?
I am very sorry for your loss 🙁 I would strongly recommend finding a support group for people who have experienced a loss – particularly one for moms who have lost their children if you can find one. Even something on the Internet can be helpful. Talking to friends helps some, but in my experience talking to someone who has been there is a lot more helpful. Starting therapy/grief counseling is helpful as well. I lost my first daughter when she was just 2 weeks old – that was 11 years ago now. I was in the same place as you at 3 months. It does get easier, but it takes a while. Just keep talking about it when you feel the need to, cry when you feel you need to and slowly you will process it. Take care of yourself – take baths, write in a journal, take lots of deep breaths. And don’t be hard on yourself – there is no place that you “should” be emotionally – wherever you are is completely normal. Losing a child is the hardest thing any person can go through – if you need someone to talk
