What are ways to support each other after a miscarriage?
Cupid’s Advice:
A miscarriage can often be one of the most heartbreaking things a couple must endure together. Â When dealing with this type of tragedy, it’s essential that you support each other. Â Cupid has some advice on how to stay strong together:
1. Be open: In light of such a tragic event, it’s often tempting to retreat into solitude in order to grieve. Â Don’t forget that you have a counterpart experiencing the same grief that you are, and it will help the both of you to be open with each other about it.
2. Get away: If you don’t feel ready to deal with the world after your loss, it’s okay to take some time away from it all. Â Escape somewhere and try to cope with how you’re feeling before jumping back into the bustle of your daily routine.
3. Remember: Find a way to cherish memories of the child that you lost. Â Trying to forget about what happened can often times bury feelings that will eventually surface later. Â Start a journal, or hold a memorial service in your child’s honor. Â Though it can’t heal all the wounds, these things can help bring a sense of closure to you and your partner.
