Finding it very difficult

I'm coming up to my due date in a couple of weeks and finding it very difficult. My OH and I have some nice things planned for the few days surrounding it.

Does anyone have any tips to get through this?

Following and unmumsnetty hugs, my due date wouldn't have been till Jan, but I've spent most of this eve crying, I don't know if it's because it's baby loss week so seeing lots of triggers on sm so really feeling it just now.

Flowers I bought a charm bracelet and for every significant date, I add a charm to it. I also stay away from social media during times when I'm feeling delicate. Talk, laugh and cry together. There are no magic words to take it away but time will pass by and you will find yourself the other side of the date.

I'm so sorry for your loss. No real advice, We've done different things, lit a little candle on the evening like a little private vigil. The first year and the first baby loss we planted a little tree in the garden. Ive tried working one to see if it'll keep my mind off it. Wasn't for me. I'll be honest none of it felt easy. If you need to just take to the couch under a blanket do it, be super kind to yourself.
I also avoided social media, for quite a while around due date times. I just couldn't do it. Hope you have a gentle day, i think it's hard to know how you'll feel till it rolls around. If whatever you have planned isn't working, change it. You and your other half are number 1 priority at this time. Hope you get through it OK xx
