Showing off DD

So I gave birth to DD last Sunday. My nan died the same day, 2 hours before she was born. So I really don't feel like I can show her off to people as they're mourning the loss of my nan. Parents and siblings have met her, but any interactions feel...put on? Like they're being polite. And it feels wrong to be posting photos of her to friends and family when I should also be mourning.

So can I show her off to you guys?

Tolleshunt · 23/09/2019 19:47

She’s gorgeous! I had something not too dissimilar, my grandma died four days before dd was born. It was very hard, but family saw DD’s birth as something positive to focus on, once the initial rawness is grief dissipated. I hope similar will happen for you.

EternallyGrapefruit · 23/09/2019 19:48

What a little love! Congrats! How are you? Are you okay?
