[quote=Anonymous]Certainly, you should allow yourself to grieve the loss for yourself (and/or your partner) and like PPs said, that's something that will probably always be with you in some way. But you should try to not worry (if you are) about your daughter. I am an only child myself, and people constantly ask me about it as if it was so weird. I can really say, it was nothing to me as a kid. It was the only thing I knew. Even now, I can't conceptualize having siblings because I never experienced it - and I attribute many of my better qualities to the experience I got interacting with adults as a child. So your child will be just fine - for those PPs whose children are asking them for another child, I get that that is hard to hear. But part of the reason that is so hard to hear is because you want it so much - which of course is understandable. From the child's perspective though, they don't understand what they are asking for - or even what having a sibling would be like - so in a world full of mommy guilt - please don't add having an only as another source of it![/quote]
