I would like to join if that's OK? I need to talk to others who understand what I'm going through.

I lost my son at 19 weeks on Sept 13th. We didn't expect it at all. We had an ultrasound at 15weeks and saw him move and wave, we found out it was a boy, and were so elated to add another little man to our family. We have 3 boys already ages 12, 10, and 15 months.
At 17 weeks I felt him move and everything was going great. We went to our anatomical scan at 19 weeks expecting more cute pics but instead our world came crashing down. There was no heartbeat. That was the worst day of my life. It plays over and over again in my head. The image. The nurse. Me crying and screaming on the bed. My husband trying so hard to console me. The day was a blur but the moment is cemented in my mind forever.
We went the following morning to induce and 12 hours later he was born. He was beautiful. We held him and sang to him and kept him close until we had to say goodbye. We had him cremated.
I received the genetic results earlier this week. I guess there was an issue with his 15th chromosome. We go next week to meet with the genetic counselor to learn more and for my husband and I to be tested. I'm not sure what to expect. Does anyone else here know anything about duplication of the 15th chromosome?
My doctor said because we have 3 healthy children it's OK to try again asap but I can't even think about that right now.
I guess I just need to talk to other women who understand. I was considering going to a support group in my area at the end of the month. Thoughts on that? Does that help? I have good days and bad days but all together I think I'm doing much better as time goes on.
I miss my little boy so much. His name is Ryker James.
