While miscarriages happen in private, the discussion about how to cope with miscarriages is also often left in the dark. This can leave women feeling alone and those around them feeling helpless.
Not every woman who suffers a miscarriage may want to talk about it. However, for those that need support and help to grieve and to heal, many don’t know where to go.
While it is true that these days more people are willing to discuss the issues associate with miscarriages, there isn’t a lot of information.There is a secrecy behind miscarriages that makes it difficult for people to seek information and resources.
