I'm so sorry to hear that. I suggest seeking out a support group or getting some grief counseling.

You don't "forget a baby." That baby was a life that must be grieved over. Find a support group and go through the grieving process before you get pregnant again.

You cannot forget, you don't forget. That child was a part of you.
I agree with the others who have answered here. Join a support group. It will help ease the pain a bit. It helps to share your grief with others too. You'd be surprise how you are then able to work through your own.
I wish you well.
