My sister gave birth to a stillborn baby at 23 weeks. I am really close to my sister and really looked forward to becoming an aunt. I saw him in the ultrasound the day before he passed away. I felt as though I lost a child. I don't talk about it with family because I don't want to depress them. It's been over 6 weeks but I can't stop thinking about it. I feel like a part of me died that day. How do I overcome this?

I am so sorry for your family's loss especially b/c i am 23 weeks today and my heart just dropped when I read your question. A part of you did die and just like the answer before, it is a grieving process and it is something that you will get over and obviously not right away but eventually. You should talk with yoyour family about, it's not too late, they all experienced the tragedy too and they could all tell you first hand how they cope. Again I truly am sorry...good luck to you and your family.

Was it her first? I'm guessing that's why you're feeling so much pain. I experienced the same thing when my sister had a miscarriage. I'm a twin, which makes it a little more painful because while I'm dealing with my own pain, I'm feeling hers as well. It wasn't meant for her to have this one. You just have to accept that. My sister was having a girl and we were so excited because she already had 2 boys. We still think about it sometimes. But it is what it is. You can't do anything to change the outcome.

It will take some time to get over it. I had a miscarriage myself and took it hard. I had it on the year of 2002 and I still find myself wondering what he would look like now. But I think of the ones GOD let me bring to this world and thank him everyday for them.
It might help you if you talk to someone about and get it out of your system. But you will think of your nephew no matter what. Just think he is in a better place and will look over you and your family. He is a lil Angel now.

I'm so sorry. You need to talk about this with friends, family or whoever you trust and grieve for this baby.

you have to allow yourself to go through the grieving process just like with any other loss! I am so sorry for what your family is going through. It might help to find someone to talk to who can help you sort through your feelings as well.
