I am really depressed about my miscarriage but I can't let that be known because I am supposed to
Be the strong one.
hey, cry. When people ask if you're okay straight up say no I'm not. It'll make them uncomfortable, but acting like it didn't happen will only make you feel worse. Today women aren't even supposed to talk about miscarriage or their angel babies. It's so unfair. Why should we have to hide our pain and the horrible empty feeling. It's not something that deserves to be shut away in the far corners of our mind to never be spoke about again. My husband told me that if we have another miscarriage that I need to go to grief counseling. If you feel that would help I recommend it.
My fiance and I were devastated with ours and he had a prior commitment to where I lost it while he was over 4 hours away, as soon as I left the hospital he got in his car and drove get me, his family who he was with and why he was far away didn't know we were pregnant (they didn't find out until I was 5 months pregnant when we did get pregnant again) because we knew the reaction wouldn't be good, we waited until we first got together when he came and got me, and after everyone left for school/work (we were babysitting his sister and cousin) we just sat and cried and up, we let ourselves grieve even if it was in private, we still do. If you have to wait until everyone goes to sleep and just turn on the shower and cry, that's letting the emotions out, and better than holding them in. Please find a way and time do it.
