That means that each year, 2 million parents in the US join this group of adults struggling with appropriate ways to grieve, cope and understand their ongoing feelings of deep loss and confusion. I've read that many women often feel "sick" or "depressed" for no apparent reason months and even years after a miscarriage. Many of these women feel a pressure not to talk about their feelings of loss and eventually wind up feeling randomly ill, not even recognizing why. Statistics show that those who are allowed to talk about it, cope much better and feel "normal" much faster.
If you are suffering from the loss of a sweet life you might have known, here are some ideas from others who have found ways to show love for the baby they were never allowed to hold:
*A balloon release on the expected due date of your baby or on Memorial Day. (There are some examples of this on YouTube).
*Planting a rose bush or tree.
*A piece of jewelry that reminds you that your once little pea-in-the-pod is part of a loving family:
I'm lighting a candle for you my precious child:
A family is a circle of love, not broken by a loss, but made stronger by the memories. We remember.
