Dealing with grief

Is anyone experiencing grief from the loss of a loved one while pregnant and how are you handling it? We found out we are having a baby a month after my sister passed away.

On Feb 21 my mom who was 47 and I'm 32 passed away suddenly, since I'm the oldest and most responsible I had to put my grieving on hold to take care of all and I do mean all I f the arrangements including having to pay cash for her funeral. Exactly a week after laying my mom to rest I found out that I was 8 weeks pregnant with my 6th child. It hurt a lot bc my mom was there for all of my other pregnancies. I was so upset and sad, and being pregnant was the last thing that I would've wanted. I'm now 26 weeks I've moved on a little and am starting to get happy about the birth of my 3rd daughter. I'm truly sorry about your loss friend

I Just tell myself everyday that he is in a better place taking care of all of us and watching me become a mother...  To me I believe someone leaves just so another person can come into this world and you share the stories they have told you
