Understanding Miscarriage and Emotional Impact

Emotional Reactions After Miscarriage

After a miscarriage, emotions can feel overwhelming and unpredictable. Sadness, guilt, anger, or numbness may appear suddenly or linger for weeks or months.
Some parents describe feeling disconnected from others or struggling to express what they are going through. These reactions are common, and seeking miscarriage counselling offers a compassionate space to explore them without judgment.

The Grief Process

Grief after miscarriage doesn’t follow a set timeline. It often comes in waves; some days may feel lighter, while others bring unexpected pain.
Every person’s grief looks different, shaped by their unique experience and support system. Counselling helps you make sense of these shifts, giving you room to process the loss in your own way and at your own pace.

Miscarriage and Mental Health

For some, miscarriage can trigger ongoing challenges with mental health. Anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress symptoms may develop, affecting sleep, concentration, and daily life.
These experiences are valid, and professional therapy for miscarriage can provide evidence-based strategies to reduce distress, strengthen coping skills, and protect your mental wellbeing during this difficult time.
