Did anyone lose friends after their stillbirth?

I've barely heard from one of my best friends, 1 message in 3 months. She lives 5 mins away too. Im not asking for someone to come and tuck me in every night but an occasional "thinking of you" or anything would have been nice. All my other friends have newborns so feeling so isolated. Have any of you lost friends or had falling outs since losing your baby?

I have. This journey has shown me who my friends are massively, and I have been surprised by people who I didn’t expect to be so supportive and still talk about my little girl 10 months on. I have lost and reduced contact with some and I’m ok with that now. I appreciate some people don’t know what to say for fear of upsetting you but as you say, thinking of you in a text would do! I’m just not really willing to go out of my way for people who couldn’t be there for me going through the worst thing anyone can go through, however I would always be kind if they did choose to reach out (which they haven’t). Hope you’re getting through the days, thinking of you and your angel xx

@Lucy yes I agree. Not willing to have people around that are only there for the positive wins. It has so shown me who is really there for me I just am surprised it's sort of happened like this. Thank you and sending love back to you. ❤️💕 Such a weird weird life! Xx
