I recently just had a very young aunt that passed away due to heart failure in her sleep. Now that im back home from her funeral and in my own surroundings i find myself waking up to see if i can still "wake up". Or when my husband sleeps in on the weekend and im up all alone i find myself going to check on him and make sure he is still breathing. Im also pregnant and if i dont feel her move for awhile i drink something sweet or move my stomach just to wake her up and see if she is ok. Is this normal? How long will this go on.. I feel like its all i do now..

You're ok, it'll pass. After my cousin's baby died I was the same was when I was pregnant, I'd freak out if she hadn't moved in an hour. My fiance was always like 'She's fine! Jeez!' And she always was. Then just because it's how I am I still wake up sometimes and make sure HE'S breathing! I don't know why! I think it's because I fel so lucky to have him and her that they'll be taken away...but no worries! I'm sure both of us'll calm down!
(I was like that when Illyana was born because of SIDS...but I'm not so worried anymore)

I was out running and my heart started to double time while I started to see my vision start to die at the edges ,, like I was passing out ,, it didn't hert I layed down to get my heart to stop double timing and the colors started to return to the world ,, the sky was beautifull the trees were greaner then ever before and a fealing of compfert was all over me ,, if death is like that only the finished product ,, It's not all that bad,, except it,, whats on the other side is so beautifull that the only ones to feel sadness are the ones left behind

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Don't worry this is just a real shock for you and of course someone dying young in your family really brings home the reality of death. This will pass - try to relax and push these thoughts away. You are going to be fine and when your babe arrives you wont have time to think about anything you'll be that busy!
Good luck

A death in the family can be very difficult to cope with. Yes, it is normal. It is very scary when someone passes away young and unexpectedly.
You are pregnant and soon there will be new life. Maybe you could do something to honor your aunts name? Such as give the baby her name or middle name? Just a suggestion.
It will be OK, give yourself time to heal from the death. Please lean on family members too, i am sure they are grieving.
