    unfortunately some people just don't understand or have the same feelings as you do. Its hard to deal with and understand but that may very well be their beliefs(or feelings) that the baby wasn't even really "here" before she passed. My opinion on it is I would be absolutely heart broken if I lost a child,and I am so sorry to hear that you have to go through this. But also think about this as well...maybe this is their way of coping(yeah its a stupid way but people cope with pain ALL different ways). Maybe their way of dealing with the loss is to act like it didn't happen or its not a big deal because baby wasn't in this world for a long period of time. Maybe that is what gets them through the pain,and maybe they are pushing you away because when they see you they think of your baby girl. I dunno I can't really say it can be narrowed down to one explanation as to why they are being the way they are but those are the two main thoughts that I can make sense out of.

    I hope things go better for you and wish you all the best.

    well some people believe that a baby is only a real baby if it was born. but many others dont agree with that theory at all. im really sorry you lost your baby girl. Its ok if they dont understand as long as you and Jesus know what really happend and how you feel. Somtimes people just dont understant, PERIOD. im sure that you will make a great mommy. or mabe they didnt want to make it a big deal so that you wont feel even more bad. like when a baby falls and if the mother acts like OMG!! then the baby cries more.

    Oh wowww... I am so sorry for your loss, I'm not sure what religion you are but I would like to say a prayer for you.... I hope this doesn't offend you, I mean well.

    God please give this woman the strength to pull through this unfortunate situation with a stronger heart and soul than she went in with. Help her family see the damage and hurt that they are causing with their insensitivity, and bless the soul of the little angel that you chose to stay by your side... amen.

    God bless,

    If you are in a position to, I would speak to a therapist. If it's weighing on you as much as it sounds.

    I'd write out all my emotions on paper, sit them down all together and let them know how bad they make you feel because you had a real attachment to your daughter and not only do you not want to hear the negative comments, but that you won't stand for it.

    If you let them get away with the negative comments, they won't bother to think twice about saying anything about her around you.
