My sympathies to you and your DH over the loss of his step-dad, although you said you 'were expecting' to get that call...so I'd guess that a lot of 'grieving' may have already been done in advance of his actual passing...which may help you to understand why your DH is still excited about getting your "his" new baby. For you, however, perhaps, you need more time...I would never suggest that you just "get over" something like the loss of a loved one. Since your DH is looking forward, as are you...though clouded by this loss...to getting your "his" new baby, perhaps you can allow him his emotion in this case. You can still feel the loss and the joy at the same time with the knowledge that all things pass. I would not want you to miss out on the happiness of the new baby because of this loss, and I doubt his step-dad would either. Our best to you through this tragic but joyous time. Take care. |
