Sorry to hear of your loss. I know that it is hard to imagine ever feeling normal, but it will happen. You just need to take time, and do things you enjoy.

I'm so sorry for your loss.  It's been 1.5 weeks since I found out that I was definitely miscarrying, and over 2 weeks since I learned that something might be wrong.  I just had my D&C today due to a missed miscarriage.  Life is not back to "normal" yet, but it's getting there.  Those first days after I learned about my loss were the worst.  Be easy on yourself during this difficult time.

I had my D&C two weeks ago and found out that I lost the baby 2.5 weeks ago. I had a follow-up appointment one week ago where my doctor told me that everything looked really well and I was healing. This actually made me feel like everything was over and that I could finally start healing. Since then I have been feeling much better, but it still isn't normal in any way. I still get sad. However, with time it definitely gets better. I think I will feel even better once AF returns and then things are finally a little more normal.

Hugs to you. I'm sorry you have to go through this. Thoughts and prayers are with you!

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's been 3 weeks and 2 days since we found out that our LO was gone. It gets a little easier each day. I'm still sad, but am able to get through the work day, talk to my husband about other things and laugh. I'm sad about what happened and think it is really unfair but I am also really looking forward to what's next in our journey as parents. It will get better. T and p to you.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Everyone is different of course, but it's been 3 months since my loss and while I don't cry everyday anymore, I still definitely feel sad/angry/depressed about my loss.

I am so very sorry for your loss.  It's been 7.5 weeks since my MC and although sometimes I feel like I'm making progress emotionally, at other times I just fall apart.  For me, I found it helps to make myself do things like go to my Zumba exercise class, that I might not be in the mood to do initially but does end up helping afterwards.  It's a good distracted.  I am not trying to bury my feelings, but keeping busy to a certain extent does help distract my thoughts from wandering to a dark place.

Honestly, I don't know when/if I'll ever be my old self again.  But, I do see myself moving in that direction finally after this many weeks.  I still am incredibly sad and angry and upset, but I think I've finally stopped asking myself "what if" and concentrating on how unfair this is.  It is unfair, there's no doubt about it.  But focusing on that wasn't helping me.

Sorry if this advice isn't very helpful -- I think everyone handles this process and grief in their own way.  Try to take care of yourself physically and mentally, and lean on people for support - whether it's your loved ones or us on this board.

Sending lots of good wishes and internet hugs your way...
