While I've not been in this position, at this early stage you both need to take it one day at a time. Try not to judge how you feel, and if possible don't create stories for yourself about it going well or badly. In time you will know either way. Until then take care of yourself and each other.

I work in healthcare too, and personally am lucky enough to be able to take some time off. I'm going to be trying to sit with how I'm feeling as much as I can tolerate; lean into community; accept I feel lost; catch up on TV; whatever feels right at the time.

You're definitely not on your own my friend! I can't help but have my Dad's voice in my head, that I should "calm down" when the grief is hitting me hard.

Ours was a 'missed miscarriage', so possibly not even 7 weeks but regardless when the grief hits, it makes me feel like I'll never stop crying if I let myself feel it fully. I agree with the other poster, it is the loss of the imagined life that I'm grieving rather than the child itself. I'm desperately trying to sit with the feelings, but it's hard to resist the urge to "do" instead of "be".
