Lookback: 7 years after child's death

Feeling not good enough for husband

My husband's grief over our dead child makes me feel like I'm not good enough for him, especially since I passed on the genetic condition that caused our child's death.

What I wish I knew
"How to overcome my feelings of inadequacy after our child's death"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't let grief and infertility define your relationship, focus on the love and commitment you have for each other."
