By Jasmine

About fifteen to twenty percent pregnancies end up with a miscarriage. Better you know that you are not alone and there are many people who will go through this situation. It is true that not many women will speak about this topic and they don't want to.

But one thing that needs to be remember is that, you or your husband is not to be blamed and you cannot do anything with the miscarriage. There will be an emotional impact on you with the miscarriage and it may take some time to get out of it. Here are some of the ways to deal with the emotions when there is a miscarriage.

Emotionally Dealing With Miscarriage

Respect: Respect the needs and limitations, as they begin to heal by themselves. This may be one of the most difficult times and you might have never expected that one should face it. Respect all the emotions in you and let them heal all of them by themselves.

Understanding: This is the time of understanding and people around you should understand. Talk to the people close to you, as they may understand the situation and act. Many people will try it make the situation even better by their words, so try to talk with those people.

Counseling: If necessary seek the counseling help for you as well as your partner. This has to be faced by both of you and your partner and let him share the sorrow with you. There are counseling centre available and one can approach them and talk to them so that you may get some relief for the time being.

Take time: As time will heal everything, leave it on time. There is nothing in your hands and time will heal all the emotions. The sorrow may not be there after sometime and you will get used to it.

Divert: Try to divert your mind by engaging yourself in some activities. Make sure that you spend time in doing things like listening to music, gardening, browsing, watching TV, etc so that you will forget. Make your mind relax in doing the things you like. Develop some hobbies and try to engage in them for most of the day.

Don't blame yourselves: You are not the reason and there is nothing in your hands. There might be some complications and so the miscarriage might have happened. Try to tell the mind that there are many chances and there is possibility for the next time. Don't blame yourself and your husband for this. It is fine to feel disappointed and feel sad at times but come out of it and make your mind active and joyful all the time.

Friends and family: Friends and family also play an important role in dealing with the emotions. Do not isolate yourselves and talk to them as their support is very much necessary at that time. There might be many parents who have gone through the same stage so talk to them.
