When The Unthinkable Happens

Miscarriage sadly occurs to many women and it can be debilitating, shocking and painful. How you approach your journey can deeply affect the outcome of your miscarriage recovery.

It is normal to feel pain and loss and a very important step back to a normal life. Acknowledging how tough it is to see babies and pregnant women in the street is a good first step. Let yourself feel the ‘why me' emotions and face them head on. Pretending they are not there can leave you mentally exhausted as you struggle through a mine field of daily reminders.

Partners can be just as affected even if they show it differently. Invite them to talk about how they are feeling, with you or a trusted friend. Support is paramount to you both and can be beneficial in releasing all those emotions you have inside you.

So where do you go from here? There are no hard rules for dealing with grief. Your miscarriage recovery begins with you being kind to yourself and taking each day as it comes. Learn to give yourself a break and not to expect too much in terms of how long recovery will take.

Focus on the importance of grieving for as long as you need to, this cannot be rushed. Remember you and your partner have suffered an ordeal that may take many months to recover from.


The First Steps To Miscarriage Recovery

It’s easy to feel shame and that somehow the miscarriage was your fault. Please don’t go down this path, it will only lead to more heartache and will slow your recovery.  Focus on grieving freely without guilt and understand that miscarriage happens to lots of women and you are not alone.

Some people when faced with a crisis cope by pretending they are fine, choosing to bury their grief and sadness. This unfortunately can cause additional heartache as those sad feelings tend to re surface sooner or later. It is much better to acknowledge your pain and to face it head on.
