You think so much about what could have been instead of concentrating on what you still have to be grateful for. I guess that's the most important thing to keep in mind at this time of year.
Many people suffer from depression around the holidays.
If this means that you take a vacation instead of spending time with your family, do it. Take what you can, and excuse yourself from the rest. Read a book, get a massage, spend time alone or with your partner, do whatever feels right. Remember the lost. Speak of the baby that you lost.
