Depressed

So recently I lost my mom to a long illness. I’m 36 weeks pregnant and her funeral is this week. I have to travel 4 hours downstate with my toddler and husband. I’m so sad about this whole situation. I’m trying to be good though because I don’t want to cause early labor. Mostly because I’ll be 4 hours from my OB and that also is stressing me out. It’s been such a roller coaster of emotions and it’s been so hard. I guess I’m not really sure why I’m typing this but maybe to hear some good words from others. Is there ways that might help me cope with this type of situation? It also doesn’t help that I’m so sad she won’t get to meet this new baby🥺

I am so sorry you are going through this. We just recently lost my husband’s grandfather and my great grandma in Florida isn’t doing well either. I would just try to take it easy as much as you can at this time which I know is easier said than done. Stay hydrated, make sure to sit, make sure to eat and if you need to take a minute to yourself do so

I’m so sorry for your loss. I know words only help so much, but I love that you are trying your best to be strong. ❤️‍🩹 I lost my mom when I was 12, and I tell myself she is always watching from above. It gives me some sort of peace. I remember I had a dear loved one pass away during my pregnancy before this one. It was so rough handling my grief emotions on top of my pregnancy hormones. I ended up losing the baby due to stress (even though the doctor wouldn’t tell me a definite reasoning. I just knew).🥺 My word of advice is to continue to allow yourself to grief, but be in control of it. Don’t stress, don’t panic, just take it day by day. Do breathing exercises if need be to help with the heavy heartache. ❤️‍🩹

I am terribly sorry to hear about this. My heart goes out to you!! Allow yourself to feel each emotion and also give yourself extra TLC🩷🩷

I’m sorry for your loss. You are so strong to be dealing with this especially while pregnant. You will get through this. She is watching you and that baby. We just have to take the time we had and cherish every precious moment with our loved ones. I lost my mom 10 years ago and see her in my kids. She was an amazing lady and I feel her watching over me. We all meet again one day. Life is too short sometimes but so beautiful when a new baby comes. Take it in stride

Thanks everyone for your kind words💜 I know she’s watching over me and my siblings and all her grandchildren. It’s going to be hard to get used to but I know she’s not in pain anymore. I’m sure once the funeral is over and this baby comes, life will be happy again, for the most part. I know I’ll never be done grieving but it will get easier..I hope.
