We all have to find our own way to cope. I don't hold little babies, can't feel happy for pregnant friends, and have withdrawn from certain situations for the last 11 years.
A cat or dog might help with some of the loneliness, but I have a somewhat antisocial wild born rabbit and snakes, so I really can't speak from experience there.
I can sympathize with wanting to fill the void with another baby, but please don't do it for only that reason and not so soon. 11 years to the day later, and remarried to my exhusband, we are now just starting to talk about starting a family again. And I still am afraid that the pain inside will prevent me from looking at and holding my own baby.
Sorry that probably doesn't help much. Today's a rough day for me. But maybe it'll help to know we all get through it one way or another.....And be thankfull you are here to get support from day one. Too many of us didn't have that.
