Life Begins...: Young women find support through Early Infant Loss group

Life Begins...

Miscarriage stories of loss, hope & 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 & 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 & why it is not your fault.

Young women find support through Early Infant Loss group

Kay Asher knows all too well what it's like to lose a baby. When she was 25 years old she had a stillbirth. About four years later she had a miscarriage.

"And they didn't know what to say."

Can you please tell me of some on-line infant-loss support groups? I can't seem to find many.

Thank you for your time.

Pregnancy Stories By Age
All the stories & divided by age, 1st pregnancy & high FSH.
At least 90% of these stories pre-date the DE era of 1990, or were a complete surprise to the over 44y old mom-to-be. How can it be so rare, so impossible, such a miracle - when I can find so many??? My goal is to simply share the stories I find online, for inspiration - to those trying - and comfort to those who find themselves unexpectedly pregnant! Sort of a "chicken soup for the TTC over 44 soul".
