How to cope after a miscarriage?

Question

I miscarried on Thursday night. I was 7 weeks. I'm feeling pretty down and I now know why they call it the silent loss. I'm wondering what strategies others used to cope? I'm still working and functioning normally. I just feel a great sadness. My body feels really run down. Any advice/strategies would be appreciated.

Answer

I tried to stay away from social media bc it would upset me to see baby announcements or bump pics. I also just tried to relax and pamper myself a little bit, and spend extra time with my husband. Sorry for your loss.

Answer

I had a miscarriage early March. I feel like I am a really well adjusted adult, but really struggled to cope. I healed a little more every day. I was often times frustrated with the people around me and it started ruining relationships. I thought everyone was stupid and insensitive. I learned to give people the benefit of the doubt and forgive quickly. People said dumb stuff because they didn't know any better. Once I started forgiving the people around me for the dumb insensitive comments I started to feel more like myself.

I also talk pretty openly about it to the people I'm close too. That's helped. I don't pretend it never happened. My husband and I still talk about our baby. I also got a cute bracelet with an E on it since we called our babe Baby E. I wear it everyday. 
I am so sorry for your loss and I hope you are healing well. Let me know if you need anything or need to talk. Take it one day at a time and do what feels right for you.

Answer

I am so sorry for your loss and I understand the pain you're feeling. Not a day goes by I don't think of my angel but it does get easier with time. Just take this time and Heal with your partner. I ended up getting pregnant two months following my mc and I'm currently 18 weeks. Just keep trying but give yourself time to heal. We found it comforting to share with family even though we didn't want to at first.

Alison, I'm a husband who experienced a miscarriage with my wife in Jan 2015. It's hard! Especially when you're so excited for the journey that's about to begin. The thing that helped us was family and friends and a lot of praying to God to trust Him. I shared about it in front of our church about 3 weeks ago and busted out into tears. It still always hurts. Time helps but most importantly the hope that you will heal and it will happen(being a mom). I hope that you find comfort during this time and know that you're not alone. Our circle of marrieds(5 couples in total) 3 of us went through this. We all help each other and live each other as needed through rough times. We are pregnant again and still have a deep fear of going through this tragedy again, but we fight with Hooe and Faith. I'll be praying for you. Thanks for posting!

I had a miscarriage last year while planning our wedding. One year later, I'm 15 weeks along with a healthy pregnancy. The miscarriage was my first pregnancy at 31 years old and I was terrified there was
Something wrong with me. I talked to my doctor a lot about it. Miscarriages
Are extremely common. I opened up and talked to other women and was surprised to find that most of the women I knew had been through them. That helped me a little, but mostly just time. It was a roller coaster of emotion. Sometimes I felt like lying around, sometimes I felt like getting out of the house. It will get better sweetie, just hang in there

I'm so sorry :( I've been there and it really is hard to not talk about it with anyone. I wish we weren't to silent about miscarriages. Pray to God for comfort.
