Ways to cope with loss?

Question

Has anyone experienced an early miscarriage and found a way to help cope? I've heard of writing letters or something similar. Sometimes I feel ashamed being upset about it still because it was so early but it still gets to me 😔 please share if you have any ideas

Answer

My husband had a friend of ours paint this for me. We’re religious, so picturing Christ taking care of my baby was really helpful. It’s hanging on our wall

Answer

I recommend creating a memorial of sorts honoring your baby. I never really started healing until I got my tattoo (first and only). It provides some closure.. maybe create a plaque with a poem or saying to your baby. Or get a necklace to wear close to your heart. I’ve seen people get a small statue symbolizing their LO.. there’s an endless amount of options, but I found having this solid and here thing comforting since I never got to hold or even see my baby. That pain never fully goes away, but the closure is what I needed to move on just enough that I’m no longer depressed

Answer

My Mother in Law had a beautiful necklace made with each of my lost babies birth stones. I believe she found it on Etsy. I wear it every day and it brings me a lot of comfort

Answer

Honestly I have had two losses. One was a chemical pregnancy in November the second was an ectopic pregnancy in February that had to be removed. I did cry for the ectopic because I was sad but I’m mostly over it now. I don’t think of them as babies because they were not meant to be. I believe in god and I believe the souls he has sent on this earth will come to be one way or another. And I think the babies that don’t make it had no souls yet basically . Once they are actually born and die then I do believe they have souls. I don’t think too much about my losses and I can’t relate to the ladies who obsess over their chemicals and talk about them as real babies. They were embryos that were not genetically normal genes not real babies. That’s just my opinion

Answer

I found it helpful to watch youtube videos of other woman who had experienced loss.
