Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Moving from the sad phase to anger

I'm angry today.  I just had to say it somewhere.  The last couple of days have been really good days but I went to bed feeling angry and it's still brewing.   My HCG level is back to 0 (Yay!) so I can't blame the hormones.   I'm angry at my SIL for sending me multiple pictures of her 15 week baby bump (which normally I am super excited about), I'm angry at my mom for assuming I could have one bad day and get over it and I'm angry at my husband for not understanding why I feel so broken.  I'm also a little annoyed at the nurse saying we should try and wait 2 months to try and conceive but her only reason is to help date another pregnancy.  Isn't that what an ultrasound is for?   The emotions seem to come in waves.  I guess we are riding the angry one today.   Vent Over.  Thanks for listening.

Re: Moving from the sad phase to anger

  • I'm sorry for your loss :(   I have been angry on and off the past few days too.  It's all a part of the process I suppose.  And I totally agree with you about the u/s.  If that's the only reason that they give us to wait, I'm not listening.  Plenty of people get KU and don't know when.  Feel free to let it out!!
  • I'm sorry you are having a rough day--def don't know WTH your SIL is thinking...

    The anger came and went for me.  It still gets set off sometimes but those days are fewer and further between...

    I can sympathize with your mom situation too--people who haven't experienced a loss just really don't understand.  My mom lectured me for being "bitter" about other people's happiness.  It isn't that I am bitter, just that I can't fart rainbows on command for every person who announces they are pg right now...

    Anyways, vent away!!  That is exactly what this board is for.

    ((hugs))

  • From my short time here, I've noticed that I can swing from sadness to anger pretty quickly. I'm angry about so many things and when I think about the fact that I can't control them, I start to cry...

    Good luck with your family and getting them to understand how you're feeling. I know it's a tricky battle.

  • I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sorry your family is being so insensitive. People don't seem to realize that you are grieving the loss of your baby, not just a pregnancy.

  • I'm sorry you're experiencing the anger so strongly. I've found that my emotions change quite quickly. I suppose it's all part of grieving and will get better with time. ((hugs)) I hope tomorrow is better for you.
