SUBJECT: My husband doesn't understand my grief
I have lost my baby today and I am so sad. But after the d&c I still was calm and tried to tell him that everything will be fine even without a baby. He hadn't really wanted it so I wanted to show him that I would be strong and get over it fast. But this evening I couldn't stop crying and crying. He wants everything back to normal. But isn't mourning the normal part, that comes after a loss? Please, how can I make him understand? How can I make him hold me instead of leaving me alone? He says he can't stand it but why can't he just hold me. That would help a lot. I told him all this but he still goes away when I cry or doesn't really react on it.
