[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wishing you peace, OP. I know it's not the same as raising one, but is there a special little girl in your life that you could build a special connection with? I have a cousin who did not have children of her own, but she has become (by their own design) an Auntie Mame to my daughter. She is like a sister to me and my daughter has her own unique bond with this "auntie." As she's gotten a little older and can care for her own basic needs now like eating & bathroom stuff, she has even enjoyed overnights for broadway shows etc.[/quote]

This was me! My father's cousin had three boys and I became "the daughter he and his wife never had" and they spoiled me rotten. Yep, I had parents, but I also got to enjoy being part of another family. This poster has good advice - maybe there is a young girl in your or your husband's family that you can build a relationship with. Surely, it's not the same as having a daughter of your own ... but maybe it will turn out to be WAY MORE FUN!
