Feeling Lost

vbrannin2010

Hello ladies.
I had a miscarriage exactly two weeks ago. Having healthy pregnancies with all three of my DDs, this was unexpected. People around me think I'm fine because I dont break down in tears when I'm around them, but fact of the matter is that I'm distraught. Not a day has gone by I don't think about it. I grieve in silence, but it's hard to not feel guilty about feeling sad. We will TTC later this year if all goes well although my mind is full of worries of suffering a second miscarriage.
T&P's for everyone on this board.

I know there's no textbook that holds the answer, so I'm asking you fellow Bumpies... how did you deal with such a devastating loss?

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I don't think I'll ever get over it, but with time it gets easier.
I don't have any good advice. Hang in there.

Sorry for your loss, it sucks and sometimes you feel like the universe is unfair

My advice is to be gentle with yourself. Let yourself be sad, angry, and teary.

If catch yourself thinking "I shouldn't feel this way" remember that you are allowed to grieve and you just went through a devastating loss. Likewise, when you start to feel excited and happy again, which you will, remember that you don't have to feel guilty and you are allowed to move forward.

My last piece of advice is to talk about it with people who care, whether in real life, here or on the dark side.

If you ever need to talk or to vent or if you are feeling low, feel free to PM me.

Thank you! I'm glad to have found a board that has been through similar situations although I wish none of would've gone through them to begin with
