TTC After a Loss

Spoiler: Grey's Anatomy

Is anyone else disappointed how they handled the m/c in this episode?  I thought they did such a good job last week, and a crappy job this week.  For all the emotion involved they could have been talking about a car wreck.

Ugh.

  • I think that it wasn't as bad as it could have been.  I know that I try to be as dispassionate as possible when talking to acquaintances because I am a dramatic crier, and I don't want to make anyone feel worse then they already do.  I hope they continue to talk about it, especially between Derek and Meredith.

  • Totally agree! I feel like they hardly addressed it and just did a cursory mention about it. And I don't think Derek's response was realistic. My dh was just as upset as I was when we miscarried.

    The passionate kiss was somewhat inappropriate given the news.

  • I thought it was glazed over and Derek didn't seem to care.  It didn't even REMOTELY resemble what happened when I told DH about the m/c (IRL). 

    So much for using this as a storyline to breed some understanding in the country/world.

    Ugh.

    I'm with you on this one. I know her character is one who doesn't show emotions, but I still wished they would have gone in that direction. Make it more of the plot. Address the fact that she ISN'T dealing with it. FORCE her to open up about it, not just mention it. I thought they would have gone in that direction. I'm sad they just played out that storyline on such a small scale, and moved on.

  • It hurt my husband more than it hurt Derek when Meredith came clean.  DH started crying...and he's not a crier.  For a "drama", Grey's didn't impress me with that reaction!

  • Ugh, I was totally dissapointed. I hope that is not the end of it, cause if so, that was incredibly lame and really crappy, I might be inclined for say screw Grey's. That was really pathetic, there is nothing blase about telling your husband you had a m/c and glossing it over... ugh. Makes me mad. They better work on that for next episode. Grrr...

    Ugh.

    Ditto. I've been crying and emotional and waiting for this climatic moment. And all I got was her blurting it out? WTF?

  • I agree with all of you.

  • I almost logged on after the show to post this! The whole thing really pissed me off!! That is why people look at me like I am crazy when I cry (2 weeks after my baby and all the plans I had for it's life died). I cannot believe they acted as if loosing a baby is no big deal, her reaction and Derek's reactions were totally unrealistic. There most not be any writers of the show or actors that were on the set that have ever lost a baby.
