Lonely miscarriage

I recently suffered my first miscarriage. It was quite early but my partner and I were so excited. We are both in the military and he got deployed 2 days after.
None of my friends have had a miscarriage but are really sympathetic.
I feel like I'm struggling alone as I don't want to burden my partner with my feelings as not only is he also devastated but he is away and can't be there for me in the way I need. I can't be there for him either. Any advice? Has anyone dealt with this alone?

I'm so sorry for your loss, op.

Didn't want to read and run, that sounds really hard.

I had an early loss in 2018, hubby was here, but we were a long way from home at the time so it was lonely that way.

Do you have a mum/sibling around for hugs and tea? (That's all I really wanted at the time)

Would you think of counselling, or talking to someone if you felt you needed it? Xx
