Miscarriage Counselling

A miscarriage can be both physically and emotionally debilitating. Unfortunately, there is no right or wrong way to feel, so women recovering from a miscarriage need the support of friends, family, and sometimes even professionals such as counsellors.

What are the common feelings after a Miscarriage?

Counsellors believe that it is common for women to feel sad, numb, disappointed, and angry after a miscarriage. You can also experience feelings of grief, disappointment, and guilt that they caused it.

Coming to terms

You must understand that there is usually nothing that could have been done to prevent the miscarriage. And sometimes, the cause is not even known. Counselling can help you come to terms with your emotions.

Dealing with relationships

A miscarriage is not just difficult for you but your partner as well. The relationship often suffers after a miscarriage because you may feel angry if your partner does not appear to react the way you want. Again, counselling can help.

Where to find support

Support can come from your doctor, grief counsellors, social workers, family and friends. The important thing is not to be afraid to seek help to go through this challenging period. Emotional healing after a miscarriage may take some time, so be patient with yourself.
