 I know this will sound like too easy to say, particularly coming from someone who has not experienced your pain, but the honest advice I can give you is to let your pain follow its course, yes, but also to make a resolve to carry on, no matter what. You're still very young and, in some ways, your life is just beginning. I am afraid that some very sad things still await you, and you need the strong will and the decision to keep going.
I wish I could cast a spell and remove the pain from your heart. I am sorry to say I can't. I can but give you this sincere advice, in the hope that it will make you stronger and will help you deal with your pain.

Mom's only want what's best for you. I truly believe your mom turned away from heart-break and a little bit of selfishness. She'll see what she's done wrong and will return to you. You will be in my prayers. I'm sorry you lost your child. God didn't think you were ready yet - your time will come and your baby will be perfect. God Bless

reader, anonymous, writes (9 May 2009): Well, you have certainly been through a lot, havent you? I am terribly sorry that you lost your child, you have just experienced one of the most grueling and stressful things that can happen to a person.
But I do have to wonder, why is your mom so mad at you? Is she angry that you had the baby, or is it your boyfriend? It sound like you two had huge problems before this incident, but you dont say why. I think it's cruel that she wouldn't support you now in your time of need, but I also dont think many mothers are willing to disown their children easily. What happened that she is like this?
What you can do is speak to your GP about being referred to a therapist, just temporarily, and perhaps consider antidepressants to help you get over this bump. Grieving can be a long, hard process and you are going to need all the support you can get. Try to find out about support groups for the death of a child/miscarriage etc. Speaking to others with the same experience will help. Draw on your boyfriend too - he lost a baby as well ,didn't he?
When you feel stronger, you can always try again for another baby (this time, without smoking!). Your mom has made her choice, and whatever she's angry about, you need to address that separately. Try to keep focused like your life depends on it (it does) and dont let yourself sink in to a depression. Get out there and move on. Don't poison your relationship with your bf, and don't grieve the loss of your mom - that's her problem. Right now, your body and mind are, it sounds like, in tatters and you need to take care of yourself. Dont be afraid to ask for help.
Good luck, sweetie :)
