The Emotional Rollercoaster Feeling After Miscarriage
Allowing yourself time for emotional recovery after miscarriage is necessary. It is essential for those around you to understand that it is not so easy just to spring back and carry on. You will be going through such a mixture of emotions and feelings after your miscarriage. Listen to my free healing session to learn about finding the key to your healing so that you can start to feel better again.
Acknowledge Your Feelings and Thoughts
How you are feeling and thinking is important to acknowledge. It can be so easy to fall into a place of negativity and depression after losing your precious baby. Some days it can be difficult for us to understand how the world around us can keep on going. Seeing people laughing and joking and not being able to join in. Not knowing what to say to others because they couldn’t possibly understand.
If you had an early miscarriage, keeping your miscarriage secret in order to avoid others talking to you about it when they don’t understand how you are feeling.
Many women feel withdrawing and hiding their feelings from others. Being able to acknowledge your feelings is a crucial part of emotional recovery after miscarriage.

Grieve For and Memorialise Your Baby
A miscarriage is the passing of a life that was alive inside of you. Even if others couldn’t see a visible bump, you know you were carrying your baby.
This is a Time to do What is Right for You.
It really helps to memorialise your baby. Many women feel like hiding their emotions and running away from everything and then later regret that they didn’t take the time to say a proper goodbye to their angel baby.
Give your angel baby a name. Keep a record of what their date of birth would have been or the date you gave birth to them. Create something of meaning to remember your angel baby with and keep it somewhere where you will see it, perhaps in your house or in your garden.
Hold a personal and private memorial ceremony for your angel baby.
Some women like to have jewellery to remember their angel baby with. A necklace or a bracelet. Perhaps even a tattoo. Here are some beautiful keepsakes for you to look through – Miscarriage Gifts and Keepsakes.
Going through a memorial ceremony gives you and your partner, perhaps even other close ones, the opportunity and place to say a proper goodbye. Going through this process of saying goodbye, to grieve openly and express how we feel can really help us through our grief and to be able to take the next step forward in our lives.
