I don’t know who needs to hear this, but can we please stop asking women and couples when they are going to have children? This topic comes via request following my last post on miscarriage — with many women reaching out to me wishing people would stop asking about their reproductive plans.

This post is in honour of all the people who have survived a miscarriage. I stand with you and I offer my story to let you know that you are not alone, your feelings are valid and there is light at the end of this dark tunnel

As a continuation of my last post, I would like to share some of the most pivotal steps which aided in my emotional recovery after my first pregnancy ended in miscarriage. These were actions I was either guided towards by friends or took instinctively. Some of them overlap a bit, but I have done my best to narrow it down to 6 key steps that helped me the most. My journey towards healing might not look like yours, but I hope that you’ll at least find some of this useful.
