Hi, I’m here.

I miscarried at Christmas. My due date was August 3rd. It’s so hard.

Hiya,
Thank you, it’s all just hit me at once and I feel like I’ve been trying to stay above water for so long and now I’m starting to drown in it all again struggling isn’t the word, my new partner doesn’t understand and I feel bad talking to him about it and then I just take my mood out on him when I don’t mean to

Drowning is exactly the right way to describe the feeling. Nobody really can understand unless they’ve been through it. You need to grieve and grief comes in many waves and stages. Flowers. There’s lots to look forward to and be grateful for, but it’s ok to sit in your sadness for a bit.

I really feel like that I just can’t seem to stay afloat sounds so silly but whenever I try and talk to someone no one can relate or tells me to get over it or won’t engage in the conversation by trying to avoid the subject I can’t keep doing it anymore really want it all over and done with Flowers

What do you mean by saying you want it all over and done with? Do you mean getting through the due date and all the pain of that? You have to look after yourself and listen to how you feel. Others can’t do it for you. Have you look on the miscarriage association website? It’s so helpful.

Please don’t despair, you have gotten this far with your strength. You can make it through this.
It may seem so difficult, and we are only names on a screen but we have been through it. We know the heartache , the yearning, the unimaginable grief.

Please don’t ever think your feelings don’t deserve to be heard. The miscarriage association website / email is a great tool to use. If you feel you need to speak to someone in more detail.

Keep treading water, the storm will pass. I promise x
