Does it get easier to bear?

Just that really. I'm finding it very difficult. The world is full of prams and bumps and it was meant to be my 20 week scan today and it hurts so much.

Flowers the significant dates are tough. They do get a bit easier as time goes on, but it doesn't help when everywhere you look someone is pregnant.

Yes, eventually. But it will be raw for a while. But it does get less over time and one day you'll realise you didnt think about it yesterday and the world is still turning. Dont feel guilty about letting go.

I think it does, it's been 5 months here. I still think about it every day but not in the same sad way, there is no longer the raw feeling you describe. Now, I think more when seeing a pregnant person etc. 'Oh, that should be me now' or 'I should be about x weeks' but I do accept it more and my grief is more about the fear that we won't have another baby rather than the loss of ours, I'm not quite sure when the shift was.

I'm not looking forward to the due date, but hoping after that I can properly move on. I'm sure I'll always think about it at points, but hopefully less with time.

Really sorry for your loss Flowers

It does get easier, you won't believe it but it really does. My advice is to fill your calendar with things to look forward to. X
