Hi to you both and thanks for plucking up the courage to write on this board. I know how hard it must have been for you both. I have a beautiful heart child who is now 8 years old but we tragically lost another son Ciaron just over 3 years ago, he was not a heart child but was still-born at 36 weeks. I wanted to tell you both that it does get easier as time goes on, you never forget but you start to celebrate your angel and the very little time you may have had with them.
Jo, it is really hard to go back to work and the hardest thing is that you will worry about how people will react to you - remember some people will feel embarrassed and not know what to say so they often say nothing! Some people may say something stupid like you can have other children (when they say that you wish they had said nothing!). Be strong, after everything you have been through it will be easy. Good luck and take care.
Margaret x
