We lost our 3days old baby recently. My wife is deeply suffered with negativity. We are at suburbs of kolkata. What should i do?

Question

That is a grievous loss, and do accept my condolences. Your wife will be deeply saddened by this and will need a lot of tender care. I recommend that you take her out on a trip and cheer her up ? a change of scene will help her tide over it a little. She would still have all the mothering instincts and capacities and this will take some time to disappear. Be gentle with her and assure her of having another baby sometime in the future. You see, having gone through 9 months of gestation, and having had the baby and to then lose her will be extremely painful. Give her time to recoup but be there to console her and support her. If she gets into a depression, do meet with a doctor to treat her as soon as possible. Avoid unnecessary visitors and discussions about the loss. If she wants to talk, gladly let her do so. With time and your love, she will overcome. I hope you are also talking about your feelings and sharing with someone about your loss. You will need to be consoled before you can console her.

She has been going through Grief.
Needs some time to relieve, better with counselling and reassurance. If not relieved try medication.
