I'm sorry for your loss. Try not to stress too much about it taking a long time to conceive again. I used to hang out in the TTC after M/C or loss threads & found that most women would be pregnant within just a few months of a loss - heaps by 4 months - nearly all by 12 months.
I remember very well how hard it is after a loss seeing all those bellies & bubs. They seem to stalk you everywhere you go. I knew I had to find a way of dealing with it because I was not coping with it well at all. I realised that when I saw those women I didn't know their history. I didn't know how hard they may have struggled to get that bub. So when I started to imagine that the woman I was looking at may have suffered losses, or taken many years to have the bub I somehow felt better about it.
I remember a few times during my pregnancy & since the birth seeing that longing look in a womans eyes.... I remembered that feeling very well so I could recognise the look when it was directed at me. One day you will be the one receiving the look because of your big bump & you'll wish there was some way you could reassure that woman that one day she too will be in the same position.
