Hey Zola,

IKWYM about people avoiding you because they don't know what to say - this exact same thing happened to me as well and it was awful. It's like they were ignoring the fact that I'd been pregnant and had suffered a m/c (no one except immediate family and a couple of very close friends knew about the second). I felt like screaming at them! I also don't know anyone who has suffered m/c, so it really feels very lonely and I went hunting and searching on the internet for information and sources of support....I really feel like I've made some very good friends this way as I've been able to share a very emotional path with them.

I wish it were as easy as waving a magic wand, but unfortunately it isn't. It really upsets me that so many women have to experience m/c. The feeling of thinking your dreams will never be realised is devastating and everyday feels like an uphill battle. My hope for you is that by sharing your thoughts on feelings here, you will know that despite the odds, good things do happen. Sometimes it takes a while, but along the journey we're all here to offer support. Most importantly, just know that you're not alone!
