I just DO. It's probably just me, but somehow I've found it easier with each subsequent loss. I don't know why. My first 4 angels I sunk into depression and it took a long time to pull myself back up from it, and that was without treatment as I have a phobia of baring my soul/sharing my emotions thoughts and feelings in person to people I don't know.
After having my DS, it was easier to deal with though I always wondered what my angels would have looked like, if they would have looked like their baby brother etc.
Then when I lost the 2 while TTC DD I became a bit depressed again, started thinking of just giving up and accepting that I'd only have one baby.
And then we lost out little unplanned surprise in June and I felt guilty because I wasn't ready for another baby and DH doesn't want any more kids and doesn't want me to have to go through another loss, but I was back to "normal" in a few weeks, though I am desperate to have another baby or 2 now... it's brought home just how precious all my babies - angel and rainbow baby alike - are to me.
In the beginning I cry and cry and cry, and rage at the world and how unfair it is, I bury myself in my beading and the internet in a bid to try and forget for a while. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's different for everyone
