Nobody knew you
" Sorry about the miscarriage dear, but you couldn't have been very far along."
...existed.
Nobody knew you
" It's not as though you lost an actual person."
...were real
Nobody knew you
" Well it probably wasn't a viable fetus. It's all for the best."
...were perfect.
Nobody knew you
" You can always have another!"
...were unique.
Nobody knew you
" You already have a beautiful child. Be happy!"
...were loved for yourself.
Nobody knew you

And we will always remember
...You.

Miscarriage stories of loss, hope and help. It's always devastating to experience a loss. It can cause you to feel alone, isolated. There's no 'right' way to feel - a range of reactions are possible and normal. In addition to the grief you may feel, your body will be undergoing some profound hormonal adjustments, which may make you feel very emotionally volatile. If you have had a miscarriage, take the time to understand better why these occur and why it is not your fault.
