To make peace with just having 1 child?

I have a lovely 3 year old boy and feel very grateful for him. I've had 2 miscarriages since (one at 20 weeks) and a whole host of health problems related to the last pregnancy. I'm having more tests in the coming months to work out why I got so unwell during the last pregnancy as I managed to get severe preeclampsia at 19 weeks. Realistically I don't think it's safe for me to try again. But I feel so heartbroken that I can't have another child. The 3 of us including my husband are a great family unit and it almost feels like I'm being ungrateful for what I do have. For those in a similar situation how did you make peace with it?
