Lonely?

2 days ago we found out we had a miscarriage at 6+5, it’s our first pregnancy. I’m absolutely devastated and heartbroken. People around me have been great but I feel so lonely. I feel like no one really understands, my husband is sad but not in the same way as me. I feel incredibly alone. Does anyone else feel like this?

Absolutely! I’ve been feeling this a lot recently. Feel free to message if you ever want to chat xx

Our baby stopped growing at 6+0, we had a D&C at 13+3. My husband is worried for me & I know he was sad but he's not someone to cry, he's back to work & that is helping him cope. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one this has affected as we were early on we had only told our parents. My FIL said "we know what your going through!" but honestly they don't, (they lost a baby 30+ years ago & didn't have a complex medical background to consider when thinking of a future pregnancy). Walking down the street & no one knows, sometimes that feels like a blessing other times like nobody cares and I want to tell everyone I am struggling please help me with this pain. It comes in waves, try to take time for yourself to really feel the grief, it helps rather than bottling it up.

@Emma I relate to your words so much, it’s like I wrote this. I’m so sorry for your loss, I hope you find even a tiny bit of comfort in the fact that you aren’t alone in this and others (myself included) are in the same place of grief. Thank you for sharing your story, like you said we just have to work through it, allow the feelings to flow and not keep it held in xx
