I think that you should let her things go (the furniture) and maybe buy new stuff for your next child. While I understand not wanting to let her things go, they were things she used not loved (like her blanket and toy). As for her blanket and toy, keep them out until you need to put them away. He's right that at some point the child will simply start taking these things (if they're available to him/her), but that won't be for awhile. If they provide you comfort keep them about, but know that they'll have to be stored or given to your next child eventually. I'm sorry that you suffered such a loss in your life, I couldn't imagine the pain, but you will have to be practical about her things (in reference to your actual life) so preparing yourself for that is something you should be working on, good luck with your pregnancy.

I am so sorry for your loss, but if you feel like you are not ready to face that furnitre than you dont need to! Let your husband know how emotionally hard it wold be to see that everyday and always remember the baby that you lost (im sure you think about her alot anyways) but there was a reason you guys didnt leave the nursey put together after emilys passing. it was too painfull to look at. Just becaue you want tohold on to the furniture doesn't mean you are ready to use it for another child. tell you husband he is being insensitve.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss but no I don't think he's being unreasonable. If you're 'clinging' to something that belonged to baby you lost it might have an effect on your relationship with this child. There's no reason not to use the furniture - plenty of parents use nursery furniture for the next baby. I'm not saying forget about your first child but there's no reason not to incorporate her memory into the rest of your family's future.

Well this is a very emotional situation. I can't imagine what you must be going through! I think the best thing to do would be to compromise. Maybe you could use the dresser for the new baby, and donate the rest of the furniture to somone who really needs it. I know it's hard, but think about it.... what are you going to do with all of the furniture in the attic? Save it up there until you die? I'm not trying to be harsh.... Also, you should totally hold on to her blankie, but maybe just keep it in a place or room where it's hands-off to the new baby. Good luck, whatever you guys decide to do.
