I recently had a miscarriage. I thought I was dealing with the aftermath of it all just fine until this week. Its been 12 days since IT physically passed but I feel like I am taking steps backwards emotionally. I want to sleep all day, I am aware of the depressed wanting to never get out of bed but I am SO tired! If I can't because I do have a wonderful 2 year old son I am almost numb through the motions of the day. I used to walk 8 miles a day and be full of energy and now I just simply am not. Please explain this.

You have to give in to your HORMONES, tresemme and someone has to take that two year old off your hands for while so you can get your head around everything that is going on with you emotionally.

Do you have one of those wonderful jogging strollers. The ones where you can take toddler along and jog at the same time?

I think you need to get out, shop, rest, sleep but not with a little one to worry about for a few days.

Sorry for your loss and your feelings are normal. Sometime emotional healing can take longer than expect and comes when you least expect it. But because we experience loss in different ways, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer for how to cope with miscarriage. At this moment your grieving and need closure.

When my cousin had a miscarriage she planted a rose bush to honor the loss of her baby and it helped her. This helped her with closure and helped her move forward.

Do you've someone to talk to too? Maybe a friend, relative, or spouse? Counseling might help too if your willing to give it a chance but you shouldn't deal with this alone especially since you have a young child at home to care for.

I agree with Tickle and everything she said. Do you've someone to watch him for a while out of the day while you cope with this?

I am so sorry for your loss.
