I was wondering if someone may be able to help me or share any experiences they have please. I had a missed miscarriage in June and whilst for the initial couple of months I felt I was coping "ok", I have been really struggling with grief for about the last 6 - 8 weeks. I've been having counselling which was organised through my work but my
last session is on Friday. I feel as if there is a constant sadness and I have to deliberately avoid any potential "triggers" to try and prevent me from breaking into floods of tears where I will be literally inconsolable for an hour or so. I've found myself having tears rolling down my face at work, on the train, in front of the TV etc and having to pretend there is something in my eye or something to try and avoid admitting I'm crying. Sometimes I cry with no noticeable trigger at all. I can't avoid all triggers as I can't avoid any other human who talks about a baby or see babies and I really feel I want to learn to deal with my emotions so I can return to some semblance of normality. This was my first pregnancy and I have suffered depression in the past and I'm not sure whether the depression is creeping back or if this is a "normal grief" reaction. I'd be really grateful if anyone would be happy to share how they managed their emotions after miscarriage.
