Miscarriage Can Be a Life Crisis for Some Women
|
|
|
|
Many women experience a variety of emotions including sorrow, depression, and anxiety after a miscarriage.
Because miscarriage is generally not recognized as a loss, many women lack the necessary support to deal effectively with their grief.
Many women feel unprepared to deal with the ramifications of their lost pregnancies alone.
The loss of a pregnancy can be misunderstood by friends and family leaving women and their partners to feel unsupported and isolated.
