Acknowledge the Loss– Just because your baby was still in your womb, doesn’t mean you didn’t suffer a loss. Many women try to brush it off and pretend it didn’t happen so that they don’t have to deal with the emotions. However, it is important that you acknowledge that you are dealing with a loss.
Surround Yourself with a Support System– Your first thought may to be to keep the miscarriage to yourself instead of talking about it, but now is the time that you need family and friends to lean on. You need a support system you can trust, cry with, hug and talk to. Having a support system of those you are closest to in part of your healing process.
Stay Close to Your Partner– So many times, a miscarriage puts a wedge between two partners. It is a fact of life that men look at things differently than women do. Your partner may wonder why you are grieving so long or why this is affecting you differently than him. This is a crucial time that both of you need to be united as one.
Take Time to Grieve– There is no official timeline when it comes to grieving. Grieving is a process that affects each person in a different way. You need to take the time that YOU need. Don’t rush things and If you need to get professional help with the grieving process, you should definitely do so.
