Hi there, first id like to say i'm sorry for your loss, no one should ever have to outlive a child.

I personally blamed myself for a while even though i knew there was nothing i could have done differently, i think it is a way of working through how you are feeling.
Taking it one day at a time is all any of us are able to do especially at such an early stage in your grief.

I spent my first few weeks after the death of my daughter focusing on the reason it happened and finding as much information on the cause as i possibly could so that when i felt well enough to talk about it i could tell people why and how it happened. I always try and tell myself that even if i can help one other person realize a symptom of the cause i may be able to help save the life of one baby, even if i know it cant be my own.

It has now been 7 months since the death of my child and i think about her every day and even though it doesnt get any better i find new ways to cope by doing small things to keep me occupied.

I hope that you can find some of the answers you seek, and that it is alright to have every feeling you are having.
