Issues with MIL

My husband just told me that my mil complained that it is so difficult to meet the grandson. We always try to go every weekend but last month I lost my second baby at 17 week and went through a traumatic situation and the cremation of my baby .Hence I did not go over for a month cause I wanted to be alone. Till now I can’t get out of the sadness. Last week my mil family came from Malaysia, I already made an effort to meet up with them. I feel like every time she doesn’t see the effort I make and keep complaining only. I don’t know how to deal with her anymore and my husband only says I keep grabbing on to things….#pleasehelp #advicepls

I really feel you on this, and I want you to know that what you went through, losing your baby at 17 weeks and going through the cremation, is an incredibly painful thing that no one should have to face alone. The fact that you still made the effort to meet up when her Malaysian family came over shows so much strength, and it is not small at all. Please be gentle with yourself right now, your healing has to come first, and any loving family member should understand that. It might also help to let your husband know that you need him standing beside you through this grief, not making you feel like your feelings are too much.
