Almost immediately after our loss, someone mentioned that Gary and I should start going to therapy because "most marriages end in divorce if you lose your baby. "When we finally did start talking to a psychiatrist, even he promptly dismissed the claim saying,"It was something said such a long time ago and it's been passed down through the ages. There really isn't any data to support that."
Gary and I have had our issues, of course, but you can't expect perfection out of two broken hearted parents! Men and women grieve differently, and it isn't easy to find a balance when you have no experience handling such a tragedy. (Plus I don't believe there is really a way to prepare yourself to lose your baby.) What works for one person may not work for the other, and there are so many factors that play into how people handle grief! But, if you can find a way to make it work, I think you would be amazed and how strong you become. And I know, sometimes there is no way to make it work.
