Its been 6 days since we heard the news that the baby we'd been planning for for 2 years; the baby we had my entire family excited about, that we were already head over heels in love with had a fatal birth defect.
Has it been too long to still be upset about this?
When I walk the dog in the morning and start to cry over the loss, over the sense of emptiness and lack of hope, does that mean Im crazy? Im overreacting?
How much time am I allowed to not want to socialize; to go home to my husband, drink some vodka and watch bad tv?
I took two days off last week, and although I spent the majority of those two days in the hospital, isnt that enough time off from work? Isnt it time to put on a big happy smile and just GET OVER IT?
What is acceptable?

NO. You are entirely within your rights to grieve.
You will probably never get completely over it.
I'm more than six months down the track, and now I'm always thinking 'I should have an infant by now....'.
Please, please, please allow yourself to feel shit. It is shit. Life is damn unfair sometimes.
