Please accept my sympathy in the loss of your ds. This must be a difficult time for you, especially w/the holidays & the pregnancy. Have you considered seeing a pastoral counselor? It doesn't matter what faith you are or even if you have no faith. These folks are experienced in helping others to cope through loss & death. After my only sister died, I attended a grief support group operated by the hospital chaplain. It was non-demoninational & helpful. My mom attended a grief/loss group operated by the hospice program my sister had been in before she passed. Sometimes our family tries to be understanding but grief is personal. It doesn't have a time table. Others who have been through the experience have the most insight.
I do wish you the best. Sending P&PT's your way. (((hugs))) jan
