Welcome to our Pregnancy/Infant Loss Cubby |
|
I'm sorry you have to be here, whether you've lost a baby or you know someone who has. It's certainly not something we plan for or even expect. We hope you'll find support and hope in our very special cubby.
| | º | Question of the Month: Intimacy After Loss
Since my baby died, I no longer have the desire to be intimate with my husband. He's being very patient, but I know he wants to make love. It's been months, but making love is how we got into this situation and somehow, it feels wrong to want to feel joy right now. What can I do? Grief experts Marily Heavilin and Sherokee Ilse respond to this difficult question.

| | º | Rebuilding Intimacy After Profound Loss by Paul Coleman, Psy.D.
This article was written to cover all types of profound loss. However, the tenets of this article hold true for pregnancy/infant loss as well. Losing a baby is a profound loss, and given that sexual intimacy played a part in conceiving the baby, such intimacy is usually greatly affected when the baby dies. Please read Dr. Coleman's article for more information. |

Submit your baby's name for posting in our Rose Garden. Your child will not be forgotten in this place of honor. |
