What does grieving a miscarriage mean?
I recently miscarried the early part of March. I am 43 and was told I could not have more children after having complications from my c-section 12 yrs ago. We gave up the dream of having more children and then unexpectedly it happened. Were so excited to get our miracle but I miscarried two months ago at 9 weeks. My husband has several health issues and is on a variety of medications which also include Humira. My age is a factor and we also lost our home last year since my husband cannot work and is seeking disability. I feel the odds are against us and it isn't responsible to try to concieve which is just breaking my heart. I just want a healthy baby in my arms!
I am a Christian and I do get comfort in knowing our child is in heaven and that I will see them again one day but it does not heal the hurt in my heart. I am on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and emotional pain. The silence of family and friends can be unbearable but the insensitive or careless words and attitudes hurt even deeper. We have heard things like...."oh well, things happen" or an attitude of that loosing our baby was a blessing due to our financial situation. The emotional hurt and pain feels like it will never go away and I have struggled with how to move forward! I feel angry toward family who seem to not care and have just ignored our heartache. I feel abandoned and let down by the people closest to me. I am hoping that being able to talk and share my experience will help me heal and grieve and move forward.

I am sorry that you don't have much support in real life. I think sometimes, others who have never experiened a loss don't know what it really feels like to lose a baby that you learn to love in such a short time. (((HUGS))) to you. Know we are here to help support you.
