Coping strategies?

Question

Do any of you feel like your husband doesn’t completely understand how you feel after miscarriage? We lost our little one a week ago and I feel like he’s sad, but able to cope and is already moving on. I, on the other hand, am feeling depressed and wanting to cry on the daily and feeling like I have a huge hole in my life. 
Saying it like that makes him sound heartless, but he was just as excited about this little one as I was. Maybe he just copes differently? 
Any similar experiences?

Answer

We just found out Monday we are losing ours and I have a d&c today.. mine cried and showed emotion but then he turned it around and is ready to move forward and try again. I know he is hurting though I can just tell. We have tried for 6 years before finally getting pregnant. He is definitely being the strong one and has been great. I think everyone just deals differently. I havent stopped crying or trying to understand.

Answer

My husband was supportive during both my miscarriages but did not experience grief himself. I’d say he was disappointed. I think it’s just different for men, or at least my husband.

Answer

I took a lot of time to grieve and even took 2 weeks off work, I had a d & c. My husband went back to work 2 days after we found out about our miscarriage. It was very different for my husband than it was for me. I was grieving the loss of a child, and he was feeling sad because he knew I was sad. It doesn’t make him heartless, he just didn’t carry the baby inside of him and have to go through the same amount of physical and mental pain.
