How have you cope?

Question

I just had a miscarriage at 6wks 3ds. My first pregnancy. As much as I was ready to delete the app I realized the support group could help. We hadn't planned on getting pregnant but once we found out we were, we were being happy. It feels so devasting. It's one of those things that you just don't think it would ever happen to you. I hope the crying stops & this pain eases. I feel like a member of our family was lost. How have you cope?

Answer

Be gentle with yourself and allow yourself to grieve. Whether you'd planned the baby or not once it's on it's way you start planning and wondering. My mc was a few days later than yours and I'm just now (7 weeks later) starting to be able to pass a day without thinking of my baby. ❤️

Answer

You just go on everyday and it gets a little better. I think for myself since only two other people knew besides my husband and me it makes it easier since I don't have to relive it by people saying sorry all the time or looking at me different, not that I don't think about it everyday, but you just continue to live your life. Sorry for your loss.

Answer

For me, the things that help are my friends and family. Surround yourself with people who love you and talk as much as you need to about it. I don't understand this thing where talking about MC is taboo...it's a real loss, it's devastating, and we shouldn't have to keep it to ourselves to make other people more comfortable. They aren't the ones grieving, we are. The people who love you will give you all the time you need to be sad and deal with your pain.

Another thing that helps me is really treating myself. Baths, pedicures, facials...I try to pamper myself while I heal because this isn't my fault, and I didn't do anything wrong, and I am
Worth it.

I also like to make lists of things that are good and happy when I get really down about it. I try to think of little things that make me happy (right now it's my kitten, who has his face in my phone trying to see what I'm doing instead of petting him) so I don't get overwhelmed by sadness. My first MC was a huge shock and so devastating, and I really sank into my grief and didn't cope well...so I'm trying to be more gentle to myself this time around.

I hope you are doing okay today and I will be sending you some healing thoughts and love 💞
