Support
The Miscarriage Association is an invaluable resource, raising awareness, and helping sufferers come to terms with their grief. Support groups and helplines can both be useful if you are finding life difficult after a miscarriage.
The Stillbirth and Neonatal Death charity is another source of support. They have a helpline too.
It may help to make some kind of remembrance of your baby. www.miscarriagememories.com sell charms, and Sands sometimes organise church services for babies lost before or shortly after birth.

Here are some private images which I made as art therapy after my fifth miscarriage. I’m posting them here in case they are useful for other miscarriage sufferers.
