My boyfriend who is the father seems to be able to cope with this so much better than I can. And I don't know how he does it. He says he thinks about him sometimes, and feels sad. But he doesn't constantly think about him.

He didn't carry him for 9 months in his body and nurture him and bond with him the same way a woman does. Sorry if that sounds sexist, but it's just not the same for a guy as it is for a woman who carried the baby in her body all that time and has tons of hormones rushing through her after delivery that make her bond even more strongly with her baby. I'm not dismissing your boyfriend, and he will grieve in his own way, but you cannot compare your grief to his. This will take time for you and you cannot expect to just be "over it."
