The Loss of Your Baby

Few words can express the emotions that accompany the loss of a newborn baby. Both you and your family will need time to grieve and heal. There is no right or wrong way to feel, and your emotions may change over time. Each person experiences feelings of loss differently. Initially, you may be in shock, feeling as though this is happening to someone else. You may also feel numbness, deep sadness, guilt, anger and/or depression. Any of these feelings are okay – be kind to yourself by allowing your heart to feel whatever it needs to in order to heal.
