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."


I know that. But it's hard because I feel like almost two weeks after it we are on a completely different page. He wants the old me to just come back. I feel depressed and I don't want to do anything. And I don't want him to dismiss all thought of our son. I am sure things will be a tiny bit better when I go back to work, I will be doing things again instead of doing nothing. But I don't think I'll be as happy as I was before. And I am worried I will have changed too much.
