I lost it during the movie "The Vow"

kibylou · April 2012

It's been over a month since our miscarriage and I'm usually fine, but sometimes it feels like it barely happened.

Last night, we went to see "The Vow" at the theater and there was only one seen where the girl's sister was super pregnant, and I lost it. I cried on DH's shoulder the rest of the movie. He thought I was emotional because of the sappy love story until I broke down again on the way to the car and told him why I cried. He says maybe I should see a therapist, I don't know what to think at this point.

Is it crazy to think the only thing that will help me snap out of this is to get pregnant again?

It has been just about a month for me also. I have a hard time seeing ultrasounds and pregnant woman (I need to stay away from FB!!). You are not alone...it stinks!! I don't know that the only thing that will help is pregnancy...I think you still need some time. If you are ready to TTC again, that is one thing, but I don't think that it is the only way you will heal. I think the pain in seeing someone have what you want is just normal...and it will take time before we all heal.

Sorry for your loss. HUGS!

I think everything you're experiencing is normal. Give yourself time to heal and don't be afraid of giving yourself the time to cry. It's OK to feel like crying, you just went through a traumatic event. I think if you are still breaking down like that and it's been a few months (or close to a year) maybe then you should be seeing someone on the professional level but for now this is perfectly normal. You should feel like the pain lessens over time but the only what that that's going to happen is if you let yourself feel the way you do.
