Re: Dealing with a loss (stillbirth)
Poincaraux,
my condolences. my family's recently gone through two similar situations. my sister-in-law lost her baby minutes after he was born and my cousin in law lost his wife (but the baby's doing fine now). If i can offer one nugget of advice it would be to just be there for your wife, but don't neglect your own needs. my SIL not only had to deal with the loss, but also the thought that her body killed her baby. my wife spent a lot of time with her and I think she now has come to terms with it and, at least, doesn't think that anymore. be there for your wife, and allow her to be there for you.
