Almost two weeks ago, my wife lost our baby at 37 weeks. The child was born stillborn.  Ever since the doctor told us our baby was dead, my wife has been unconsolable. I didn’t let her see the foetus when it came out and thankfully she passed out from the blood loss once the D&C. Since then, she has had two weeks off of work to recover and I’ve tried keeping her occupied. Even family and friends have been coming to visit. Now my problem now is that she still breaks down crying at night when something reminds her of what happened. We already have 3 girls so she keeps apologizing that she lost the boy that I said I was hoping for. She asked me a few days ago what I wish to name this lost baby. I told her I did not want to name him or talk about it. I want to let go of this child. I prefer not to think of him as a baby that died, rather as something else, a lost pregnancy. How do I help her cope and get over this loss?
