My MC was a week ago at 5w5d. Not many people knew since it was so early. DH and I had been trying 5 months and were very excited. How is everyone dealing with your emotions around people that didn't know about the pregnancy? I'm finding myself sad at times and irritable all due to the loss and I'm sure hormones too.

I agree with @MrsGargoyle too. When it comes to MILs, they can be very nasty. That is, until there's another grandchild to hold and they suddenly want all the grandmother privileges. That would be the perfect time to clear the air between you two and request an apology. They really tend to warm up then. I know from experience.
It's been 2 weeks since then and I'm reaching a point where I can interact on a casual basis with nonchalant chit chat. It takes time, but it's okay to tske some time for yourself to sort everything out and start healing.
Sorry for your loss!
I was almost 6 weeks with my MC 2 weeks ago. I had told a few people at my work because I have to work around dangerous chemicals and infectious materials. I told those people what happened and from there everyone seemed to find out.
If you feel like telling a few people go for it, otherwise I would just explain to them you are having a few difficult things happening in your life right now.
