Your baby has died. The unexpected has happened to you. Your world has stopped turning, and you can’t believe that it continues to turn for other people. You walk through life sad and numb for a good while until you slowly start to feel the world turning again. It starts small. Maybe you allow…

Here are a few tips for getting through the Holidays while grieving...Allow yourself an out. If you go to any gatherings, park further away so that if you feel you need to leave, you can with little hassle. No explanations necessary. Though his/her absence may seem more evident on Christmas, it's really just another day. The truth is, you miss your baby everyday, you probably won't miss them more just because it's December 25th. Anticipation of big days (Holidays, Birthdays and due dates specifically) are usually worse than the day itself. Allow yourself some time to just be alone with the things that remind you of your baby. Your pictures, his/her clothes, his/her blanket, etc. Cry, bawl, wail if you need to. Get it all out. You will still be sad, but it may be more controlled if you allow yourself time to just let it out in a setting that you are comfortable. Give yourself some grace. You are walking a difficult path. There is no denying that.

Just because you're up in Heaven, doesn't mean you're not near
It's just a different kind of Christmas
It's just a different kind of Christmas this year"
