Lookback: 3 months after stillbirth

“Not ready for another child now”

Wife wants another child to cope with stillbirth grief, threatens suicide if I don't comply

What I wish I knew
"I underestimated her desperation and suicidal ideation"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate openly with your partner and seek professional help for suicidal ideation"
