How to navigate pregnancy joy after pregnancy loss in friend groups

Our friend group is planning baby showers and gender reveals for everyone except me because they know I've had three miscarriages, but their careful kindness feels like exile and I want to celebrate with them but don't know how to say I can handle their joy even while I'm grieving.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Well-meaning protection has created isolation, leaving someone outside the very community they need while processing their own loss.
