I just noticed this . Maybe it is distracting her .
She’s probably not got to the true grief stage and that might not happen for many years. My younger bro was born 14 days after dad died. His death was sudden and unexpected he was in hospital at the time but due to be released the next day so mum wasn’t with him when he died. His consultants were shocked. There had to be a post-mortem too as the hospital didn’t know why he died. They did this asap so the body could be released.
My bro was luckily overdue so gave 2 week in which everything possible was sort, funeral held whilst having 2 toddlers to look after but she did have her best friend and her parents to help.
At that time our hospital was split site Mum had bro at a different part there’s no way she would have asked to move to where he died. The hospital was great mum was due to induced at the weekend, my aunt was her birthing partner. She didn’t have a memorial set up for dad yes she missed him being there. The name hadn’t be decided so she had to decide with dads name being his middle name.
Mum didn’t really greave properly for 14 years. She was busy with 3 kids with a complex medical baby that spent 1/2 his first 4 years in and out of hospital. Then had to go back to work she was constantly on the go but after a few other things her mental health dipped for it to really hit.
The post-mortem was helpful as she knew why but hard as there was high chance of the condition being passed on to atleast 1 of us. Over the years the checked us out. Unfortunately 2 of us have the condition that resulted in his death ironically not the one born after.
R family - her hormones will be all over the place with the birth. She will be happy for the baby Im suprised how they cope with a scbu. My bro didn’t end up in scbu as he didn’t get ill till 5 1/2 weeks so couldn’t go into scbu. Then caring for a new baby with multiple other children to care for. I really don’t think it will of hit. I doubt it will be asking for her as my mum as she has older kids to help out. Unlike mum they still have the funeral to go that might really trigger it depending on if her hormones have settled. If not i think within the year.
