Struggling this Christmas

I’m Just wondering if it gets any easier?
I recently miscarried at 9 weeks which ended up in a hospital stay as I was very unwell with the amount of blood loss. It was a pregnancy after 5 rounds of IVF. We had already suffered a chemical pregnancy back in June and this genuinely felt like it was it. We just felt like everything was ripped away from us.
I feel the most alone I have in such a long time. Infertility has ripped so much away from us but this Christmas I’m struggling watching all my friends move on with their families completely unaware of the pain we are enduring. It just feels such a sad time.
im just struggling so much to be merry and bright. Im still on quite a few meds so im not sure if these are amplifying my feelings.

There’s no need to be merry
no need to be bright.
Just do what you can
and all will come right.

Sorry OP. Take time to process what has happened. No pressure on yourself.

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way, I hope you have good support around you.
After ttc for 2 years and nothing but 2 mc to show for it I’m also finding Christmas tough, lost count of pregnancy announcements and family pics in matching pj’s I’ve seen over the past couple of days - bloody social media!
I’m just trying to see an upcoming new year as a new opportunity and praying 2025 will be a special one 🌈
Sending love to you and anyone else feeling down, it won’t always feel this horrid ❤️
