:hugs: Lissy... Our EDD was meant for the 18th of July... Go easy on yourself and don't have expectations around your SIL or workmates. Allow yourself to be true to yourself and your feelings during this very difficult time.
I can relate to what your saying. I remember literally counting down to the 'would have been' date. I was 22 weeks pregnant on the 'would have been' date and felt terribly conflicted as I was mourning what could have been and felt like I was betraying the little one growing inside of me.
DH and I went and bought a plant and pot and keep it in our room to represent our little angel. It puts us at ease and it feels natural.
As for your mum- it is difficult for others to understand the pain and for some its awkward- do what feels right for you!
Hugs to you xxoo
