FEELING GUILTY

Be gentle with yourself. You've been through what no parent should ever endure. It's ok not to ask questions, it's ok to put you first. In the grand scheme of things, she's not going to remember that you didn't ask. But you'll always remember if you do something that causes you more heartache.

Be gentle with yourself momma, you've been though enough.

I think we all feel/felt those things. It's hard cause it is just a reminder to us of what we lost. Be gentle on yourself, it has been almost two years since my loss and I still can't bring myself to attend baby showers. Our lives have changed and we are learing to live a new normal. It takes time to navigate it and find a path that works for us
If you feel comfortable you could try explaining your feelings to your friend.

I am going to echo what Lauren and Brooke said. Be kind to yourself. That other mom probably didn't even notice that you didn't ask questions or hold her baby. What feels colossal to you probably didn't even ping her radar.

I wish you peace,
Tommie
