TW: Miscarriage
I’ve gone back and forth about sharing this, but miscarriage isn’t talked about enough—and when it happens, many of us don’t have tools to navigate the grief. It’s been a month since my son passed, and I want to share a few things that have helped me in the thick of it, in case they can help another mama’s heart too.
1. Faith daily. Reading my Bible, praying, and worshiping—not just in joy, but in the questioning. God can hold your anger and meet you with peace.
2. Replenishing my body. I lost a significant amount of blood and was deeply depleted. Beef liver, chlorophyll, Ferrochel, a solid postnatal, Blues Buster, and Postpartum Rebalance helped restore my levels and steady my emotions.
3. Nourishing food. Warm, grounding meals—lots of steak and cooked foods. Even without a baby in my arms, my body was still postpartum and needed to be fed like it was healing.
4. Community. Letting safe people in—allowing myself to be seen, held, and fed. This was hard for the people-pleaser in me, but support matters deeply when your heart is tender.
5. Gentle movement. Once bleeding subsided, walks, fresh air, swimming, or light gym time helped my body feel alive again.
6. Comfort. For me, that looked like long bubble baths. Find what feels like a deep hug to you.
7. Receiving care. Let people bring meals or small gifts. Even when you feel undeserving—you are not. You are worthy of being cared for.
8. Clearing clutter. Letting go of physical chaos helped my mind find a bit of order.
9. Herbal teas. Warm nourishment again—red raspberry leaf for cramping, nettle, and lemon hibiscus were my favorites.
10.) Go do something that makes you feel alive again, for me that was driving to Seattle to see one of BFFs and laughing a lot in such a heavy time. That was exactly what my soul needed. Give yourself permission to step away from the weight for a moment and let your mind rest from the loss, even if just briefly.
These are just a few things I did to help during this season in my life. I hope this helps someone else that is struggling through loss. You are not alone, the feelings your feeling won’t last forever friend.
