[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she's not getting some kind of therapy, she needs it. That kind of trauma and loss--not just the baby, [b]but the prospect of having any more--plus postpartum hormones puts her at terribly high risk for for postpartum depression.

You might help by researching options and helping her get there.  [/quote]

OP here. I think this is a lot of it. We didn't want to put all her personal information out there but it seems as if every.single.person. has some version of "she can try again" or tells a personal story of their miscarriage and how they had a "rainbow" baby a year or so later.  These stories are even starting to hurt ME and this isn't about me. I almost want to tell everyone before they come through the door or send a card or whatever that she has no uterus.  Thanks for letting me vent. [/quote]

Depending on your relationship with your sister, you can filter those cards.  Tell her "so and so sent a nice card" and then toss it.  As for visitors, give a generic pre-game talk before they come in.  "Please do not talk about trying for another baby."

And YES, talk to your mother, send her articles on what to say after somebody has a loss, etc...[/quote]
