Experiencing the loss of a baby through miscarriage is a real and painful experience. It is normal to feel deep sadness, and a sense of loss. Taking the time to grieve is essential for your long term emotional and physical health. Grieving looks different for everyone and isn’t on a one size fits all timeline. Some of the common stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. You may spend time in all stages, or skip some, experience them out of order or at the same time.
Some people might unintentionally minimize your pain. It is important to recognize that your loved ones just want to help, and don’t always know how. They aren’t being hurtful on purpose.
Although grieving is painful, it is the road that eventually leads to acceptance and healing. Once on the other side, you may even become a beacon of hope for someone you know going through the same thing.
