Very sad after a miscarriage

[Julia2016]

Basically just that. I get days where I want to curl up in a ball.

I went for an 8 week scan, no baby, went for the follow up confirmation scan a week later and baby was there but no heartbeat. Then had to wait another week to confirm and then they confirmed no heartbeat. I had medical management and follow up for an infection. I think the three week window of what if has now caught up with me, I was going through the process and now my mind is catching up.

Will this sadness pass, I feel like my heart is breaking. Any tips on coping? I've a DD at home so I can't just do as I please, I have to keep going.

I'm really sorry to hear about your loss. It's only been a week for me and I have good and bad days. I think we have to let ourselves grieve at the pace at which we're comfortable because that means coming to terms with it.
I'm going to speak with a counsellor tomorrow which I'm hoping will help as I personally haven't found family or friends a huge sense of comfort: they don't know what to say. Have you thought of that? Our hospital has a miscarriage counselling referral service.
Sorry I can't be more helpful but I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone - these are rough days to get through.

I am so sorry for your loss

On a day to day basis, be very kind to yourself as this is a terrible thing you are going through and it is right and normal to be very sad. Lean on your partner, family and friends.

I would also second the recommendation for a counsellor.

Thanks ladies. I am going to ring the counselling service that the hospital offer. Once I was physically ok I got on with things but I just don't feel ok. I'm going to leave work early today and get some fresh air.

I'm sorry Hopeful for your loss too. :(
