We are so sorry for your loss. We know your pain as we lost our son this past September. Anger is one of the emotions you will experience. The anger is still with us. It is all so unfair. Michael was our third too. We had a normal pregnancy and thought everything was going to be fine. Unfortunately about an hour after he was born, they began detecting problem after problem. Until they told us he probably wouldn't live but they didn't know how long until he died. We were grateful for the time we had with him but if I could trade places with him and take all the pain away that he experienced, I would have. I can only suggest that you reach out to support groups. It is hard to go at first but you will meet unbelievable people who will give you strength you never knew you had. Depending on how much your depression imobilizes you, I also suggest seeing a psychatrist for some anti-depressants. My husband dragged me out of bad after I went through several days of crying, not talking and not caring for myself. The medication has saved my life. I wish you luck in your life long fight to cope with what will be the greatest loss in your life. Please contact me if I can be of any further assistance. P.s. I also find memorializing my son is great therapy for me. You are in my prayers, Vita (&Robert)
