Hun, I am so very sorry for your loss of your baby boy. . I too have felt the pain of loosing a child as I lost my baby boy at 36 weeks. I really didn't know how I was going to survive the pain and I felt as if it was more than I could bare. Your birth story has many simularities to yours. I felt as if the lady with the dead baby was too hard to deal with and I was basically left alone also. I am still dealing with the resentment and anger with how I was treated.
However, as the weeks/months/years passed I have learnt to deal with my grief and I can honestly say that I am able to smile again. At the moment your pain is so raw so my advice is just be what you need to be. If that means crying/shouting/staring at a wall then that is what you should do. There is no right way to grieve, just take it day by day.
Regarding the lady at your work comparing your loss to a puppy. I think she had the best intention but she obviously has no idea. I would encourage her to visit the Stillbirth Foundation website and educate herself about just what you and your family are going through.
I'm here if you would like to chat. please feel free to PM me.
With love and understanding
Spring xx
