I'm having trouble coping with all this

I found out in February I thought I was pregnant. This last Wednesday I had to have a D&C for a molar pregnancy. There was no baby it was just a mass of tissue. I had my hopes up that I was going to have a baby. My first pregnancy went so good I didn't think I would have any problems. My doctor says I have to wait for over a year before I can try for another, which I'm fine with that it just *****. My daughter who is 3 still thinks I'm pregnant and so do my nieces who are four and six. I've tried to explain to them the best I could that I'm not but they're having trouble understanding has anybody been through this? what do I do? I've tried to explain god decided he needed the baby still in heaven with him. My 4 use old niece seems to think that God to keep the baby till it gets older and then give me the baby. I just don't know what to do?

Yes. I've looked into something like that. I live in a small town. My doctor told me the last patient she seen with a molar pregnancy was over a year and a half ago. I'd have to look online to find one I assume.

Well I have two dogs. A 3 year old shih tzu and a 2 year old pekingese.  
I just thought it would be easier. I keep telling my self everything happens for a reason. Also it was a mass of tissue not a baby. It didn't have a heart beat. But it doesn't help.
I was in the depo shot the first year of my daugther life. We knew we wanted another when she was one. But also knew it would take a while with the depo. It was shocking to find out we were pregnant. My daugther just turned 3. Now we can't try for over a year. Which I don't mind. I have my daugther and she is fixing to start the half day of school in august. It gives me more time to get things done. It is sad. I'm just glad I was blessed with my beautiful daughter.  
I feel a little overwhelmed.

I've Had Two Miscarriages And I Still Cry At The Thought Of Them. One Was Oct 2011 And The Other Was Nov 2013 Tbh I Dnt Think I'll Ever "Get Over" Those Losses But I Believe It Will Get Easier For You Too. Just Give Yourself Some Time To Grieve. I Dnt Have Kids But I'm Sure U Feel U Need To Strong For Your Daughter But You've Gotta Let Yourself Heal It's No Gonna Happen OverNight So Dnt Be So Hard On Urself And Expect To Bounce Back Instantly. Good Luck Girlie You'll Be Fine :)

They first thought I was having a miscarriage before they seen it was seen molar pregnancy.  So I went through a week of thinking I was having a miscarriage.  Went through all that pain and crying. I thought this would be easy since I already went through that pain. But it's harder than I thought.

Lol well kids are funny. I'm sure they are confused.
My last part is a little jumbled.  But my niece thinks god is going to keep the baby for a year or two and then he is going to come hand me the baby. I thinks it's cute and funny.
They ask me every time they see me about the baby. I'm hoping Maybe they will forget. My daugther will kiss my tummy for the baby.

Its hard for children to understand concepts like pregnancy in general. I told my little brothers (age 8 and 4) that I have a baby in my tummy. My due date is tomorrow and Im pretty sure they are still kinda confused on it. Lol
In your situation, I think what you told them would work fine. When the children get older, you can try to explain in more detail. Like it says, there is a time for everything under heaven. Hopefully you would have another beautiful blessing on the way soon! :)
