I was prepared to say NTJ, but when I read the whole story, my opinion changed. If your wife had a nice baby shower for the first baby, that would be one thing... because in my family, baby showers were held for the firstborn baby. There was no need to have one for any pregnancies after that...it just seemed like a tacky "gift grab"...but the fact that there was no first baby shower, and you refused to even entertain the very idea of one, definitely makes you a jerk! This IS a special occasion worth celebrating. Your wife deserves to have a special day where she is the center of attention. You just made yourself sound like a hard-a$$, uptight fuddy duddy who thinks life is all work and seriousness and no fun or celebrating allowed. Lighten up and throw your wife a nice baby shower
You're allowed to feel however you want about this situation. You're grieving, and everyone handles it differently. I've been in your shoes, so I understand how you feel. Unfortunately, things were different those many years ago when this happened to me. Most people were just expecting me to "just get over it"...and my employer gave me 1 week to return to work or be fired ..hugs to you
