Coping with a Miscarriage

Dealing with a miscarriage is a personal experience that different women cope with differently. After a miscarriage, the grief of a woman may be so overwhelming that some women even wonder if they could ever be happy again. Some of them never truly get over their loss. Grief can be more manageable over time if only these women realize that the feelings that they feel are valid and accept that they need some time to work on it.

After a miscarriage, women may feel extremely sad and even depressed. The body’s hormonal levels fall, magnifying the feelings and turning them into depression. But this can normally fade after a few weeks. Some women also feel angry at themselves for losing the baby especially if they have wanted the baby for a long time. They can even feel guilty for what happened.

Life After the Miscarriage

After the incident, many women would feel jealous of other pregnant women and mothers with new babies. These feelings are normal, but they will certainly not make grieving women feel better. Women who have just experienced miscarriage need some time on their own; they need to grieve for their loss. They will most likely undergo the five stages of grief, which are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Some families and friends may provide comfort. Some of them may never relate to the feelings of the mother, especially those who have never experienced a loss and they can cause additional stress. They may say some hurtful and unintentional things even if they just want to help.
