Don't beat yourself up over the fact that you haven't cried yet. People handle things very differently. My DS2 was stillborn just before Christmas last year and I seemed to switch into automatic pilot when it happened and didn't cry until DH sat me down with a big bottle of wine.

I felt so numb and lost that I didn't know what to do. I also didn't want to cry because I was scared that if i started then I wouldn't stop again and I had to stay strong for DS1!

Anyway what I'm trying to say is take it one day at a time and at some point when you least expect it you might find yourself in floods of tears.

I'm so sorry for your loss

I found out I had a missed miscarriage three weeks ago and the miscarriage happened naturally 3 weeks ago.

I have cried - but very little. Twice on the day I found out. Once since. I still haven't cried properly - not in the way I want to. I am still grieving and desperately throwing myself energetically into everything I do. I fluctuate between being quite positive, being very angry and being a little confused (good ol' hormones are still kicking around). If I drink more than a glass of wine I get far too sad, so am avoiding alchohol at the moment.

I'm not sure what is happening to me, but do feel that one day I will have a mammoth cry. I had a natural miscarriage at home, so am planting a little box in the garden next weekend, so in future I can go and talk to the tree it will be under. I feel that will help me.

I don't know if that is any help at all, but understand what you mean. The shock is great.

crispyduck and other lovely ladies - so sorry to hear about your losses.

I had a MMC about a month ago and even though it was my 2nd MC I've felt really different emotionally this time. I was expecting to be weeping and wailing but actually have felt numb and then so, so angry.

Crispy - try not to worry about not crying yet. I know what you mean about really wanting to - needing a release. It will come in some form. We are here with a listening ear when you need x
