This is taken from one of my favorite books "A few good eggs" (I posted a link to the book earlier this week)

1. Allow yourself time to grieve
2. Keep a journal
3. Honor your lost child in some way - plant a flowering bush or tree
4. Write your lost child a letter, pour out your feelings, then tuck the letter away
5. Don't go it alone. Talk about the miscarriage with your partner, your parent, or your friends here on JM (I added that last part)
6. Give yourself a break. It is not your fault. You are not a bad person, Let go of the guilt
7. Yell, curse, pound your fist on the table, go for a run, curl up in your bed and sleep... then start living again.
8. You are not the only persons to whom this has happened. Find others who understand (us!)
9. Take care of yourself - go to a spa, get a manicure or facial, buy yourself something special
10. Realize that these feelings will pass, but never be forgotten - and that's ok.


Feel free to add your own as well...


(((Hugs))) I am sorry for our losses

Missy can I copy this and add to the Pregnancy loss board? I think the ladies over there would appreciate it. Thanks for posting this.

Of Course Jess. I am sincerely sorry I have not been over there in the past week. I realized today that I am really struggling with my own fertility and losses a lot more than I thought I was.

I will stop by and lend some support to those girls. ((Hugs)) you are an awesome girl.

No problem Missy. We all do what we can and have stuff to go through as well. Sometimes a step back helps us deal with our own feelings and such. I appreciate all the support you show the ladies over there. Although I must say I pop in over here just to check on and stalk people since no one keeps me in the loop LOL.
