When does the sadness stop?

I guess what the title says. When does it stop being the only thing I think about? The only thing that matters? I have no idea what happens every day. Its all a blur. I lay awake most of the night crying to myself while my OH sleeps soundly like it's never happened. It's my second AF since MMC and I just wish the world around me would stop.

When does it all stop?

It took me a long time not to cry every day. I (luckily) got pregnant first cycle after my miscarriage but suffered emotionally. It was probably until the due date passed that I didn’t feel that deep sense of sadness. I still think of my baby every day and the 12 month mark is coming up and I find myself thinking more and more. I guess it will dwindle out to just anniversaries as time goes on. Sorry for your loss xx

Hi Cakelaur. I just came on here to get some focus and see if anyone else was feeling as horrendously heartbroken as I was. We had a miscarriage 8 weeks ago and I bled for 6 weeks. I THINK I had a period last week of feb and we did digital ovulation tests as I was desperately trying to get/feel pregnant again. Tested last Friday and negative result. My heart was ripped out. Period due last Thursday and today there was a minute amount of blood. Nothing since this afternoon. Reading this makes me feel like what I’m going through is normal and we will get there. Im42 and feel like my time will be over soon. I really feel for you as you just took the words right out of my mouth. All I can say is what people say to me. Cry. Talk to your friends or on here. Look after yourself (I run to clear my head) and just take your time. I truly hope your time comes soon and all of this will be a blur. Sending you virtual love and good luck!!! Keep the faith xx

I had my first MC in November at 12 weeks. Since then I've had 3 chemical pregnancies. The sadness is continuing in full force here.
