My wife and I have had two miscarriages and it's absolutely awful, especially for the woman, and it just feels like you can't talk to anybody about it. Chrissy tweeting about it and bringing attention to it has honestly helped my wife with some of the negative feelings she's harbored for a long time. Thank you Chrissy!
I've had 5 miscarriages (this is a fact, not for pity) and you wouldn't believe how many women are this cruel. Everything from snide comments about me not being a mother when my hubby sends me Mother's Day flowers, to telling me it's not like losing an "actual child". Then there are the well-meaning idiots who point out all the reasons I'm lucky to not have kids. Lesson: when someone's going through something, just say you're sorry and move on. It's a situation where nothing you can say will make it better, but nearly anything can make it worse. Same with all grief, I suppose.
I lost my son to sids. I can say I was desperate to talk to others who had survived it. Our local support group reached out to us the same day we lost him and to this day (28 years later) I am still so great full.
