Coping and support
By Mayo Clinic staffEmotional healing may take much longer than physical healing. Miscarriage can be a heart-wrenching loss that others around you may not fully understand. Your emotions may range from anger to despair. Give yourself time to grieve the loss of your pregnancy, and seek help from those who love you. Keeping the loss to yourself isn't necessary.
You'll likely never forget your hopes and dreams surrounding this pregnancy, but in time acceptance may ease your pain. Talk to your doctor if you're feeling profound sadness or depression.
