You Can't Heal a Wound That You Ignore

I remember going back to work just a few days after my first miscarriage, wearing a mask of normalcy that felt foreign and uncomfortable. Colleagues would ask how I was doing, and I would smile and reply, "I'm fine, thank you." But inside, I was anything but fine.

When I first took the pregnancy test and found out I was pregnant, I was overjoyed! I looked at that test over and over. I showed it to my husband and he was overjoyed. But a few weeks later, something felt off, so I took another test.

How many times has someone asked you how you’re doing, and you’ve simply responded with, “I’m fine”? For many women, the answer is likely in the hundreds. What if instead, the question was, “How many times have you told someone you’re fine and really meant it”?

Healing After Miscarriage

The anxiety a woman experiences during a pregnancy after a miscarriage is unexplainable. The anxiety a woman experiences after Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL) is what I would consider traumatic. I didn’t know what to do with this type of trauma, all I knew is that I just wanted to be safe in my bed and hide from the pain.
