miscarriage grief catholic

I had a miscarriage at 8 wks. Back in june 2013 my baby was suppose to be due last month and my sister in law was pregnant at the sametime with a baby due a month after mines meaning hers was born this month i cant help but to feel anger/sadness can really bare to see the baby or even her..i try to avoid them as much possible but i really just wanna get over this i know i cant stay like this forever..

So on Saturday about lunch time I went into hospital as I was experiencing some bleeding. Found it was old blood and wasn't alot, may or may not be having a Miscarriage. Following morning I woke up, lots of fresh blood heavy period like and lots of cramping. Rushed back in straight to gynaecology ward as it's Sunday and hardly any staff. Get checked out and as I'm getting undressed for examination, I see it. Start freaking out that something like a massive clot is hanging out of me.

Maybe you can find a grief counselor. My HMO has a specialist in grief issues related to fertility, who works in the ob-gyn department. I had several appointments with her and it helped a lot. The first appointment, I basically just cried. It's helpful to talk to someone who has dealt a lot with grief issues that are specifically related with fertility, if that is what you're going through. I think that kind of grief is like no other kind. I hope you can find someone.

I'm sorry to hear about your girlfriend's miscarriage. Grief and depression can feel very similar, but also very different at the same time in my experience. It's raw and powerfully overwhelming, inescapable. Depression for me, at least, is numb and lifeless, a void of emotion rather an a devastating flood of emotion. Like the other posters said, it's very possible that what you're feeling right now is a natural grieving response to a major loss.

I don't wish to offend anyone whose beliefs differ to mine and that is why I have entitled this for Christians. I am Russian Orthodox and have recently discovered a saint (which is also in the catholic religion) that is the patron saint of mental illness. I guess it doesn't matter what your denomination is if you believe in the intercession of saints then go for it, even if you don't what have you got to lose.

I know everyone handles grief differently. I guess this was just something I never expected. It kind of just knocked the life out of me.My husband has been a big help. If it wasn't for him, I don't think I would have ever left my house. It's everyone's looks that makes it hard to step out. Or even worse. The people who still come up and try congratulating me.

I'm so sorry to hear that :( Take it easy, let your body heal and when you feel the time is right try again. I know it doesn't make the loss and grief any easier but the majority of women experience atleast one miscarriage in their reproductive lifetime. I have had 2 and a full term stillbirth (cord related) so I understand your loss, but I also have 4 beautiful healthy kids and I'm 8 weeks pregnant.

I knew I did not want to do any invasive testing because they come with a risk for miscarriage, though low. I would have been okay with doing non-invasive testing such as a triple or quad screen, but because I work for a Catholic organization, though I am not Catholic, I learned that these (like birth control) would not be covered. Plus I learned at 8 wks I was having twins which means the already questionable effectiness of such a test would be even lower.

anyone Roman Catholic who eats fish only on Fridays? Well what if you don't want fish on Fridays and you want a cheese burger is it mandatory to eat that? I mean come on I should eat what ever I want I'm pregnant and even if I wasn't i still eat what ever. And if I don't eat fish my fiancé said then I can't become Roman Catholic well I guess I won't then my gosh! I can't eat what ever I want.

Hey. I've been in a relationship with a men , who is in his catholic vocation. He has been in our parish for a while now. The aim was to stay away from him. . . maybe he will loss his feelings for me. But it seemed i developed feelings too. Our relationship progressed. From Friends. . . Playing Games n going out to spending Weekend together. We have made love few time. . . Had few pregnancy freak moments. But it turned out wêre false alarms. The thing is now i want a baby. .

I'm Mexican & Catholic my husband is american & Methodist but he really doesn't connect with his religion. Not saying I got to church on Sunday BC I don't. But that's how I grew up & would like our daughter to. Currently 27 weeks. Is it to early to be choosing who her god parents would be? & letting them know?

You are not heartless for not feeling grief over your loss. Everyone deals with it in their own way. My husband just said it will be OK. And that was it. Then about a year later a friend of his at work had asked him to borrow 700$ to pay for his wife's d&c. He told me he was only going to lend him the money because he remembered how helpless he felt when we had "our" miscarriage. I wanted to cry because there I was thinking he didn't care and he did.

My friend recently found out she was pregnant again. She has been worried about it since she miscarried last time around. She told me this morning that she thinks she may be having another miscarriage. My husband and I are trying to have a baby as well and I don't know what to say to her. I told her she can talk to me whenever and that I am here for her but it just doesn't feel like enough. Any suggestions?

There are professionals out there that focus on m/c and grief. You may find that to help. Grief is a terrible road to walk down and it can be quite bumpy. The road can start to feel like it goes on forever. Our bodies need time to heal it take 3 or more cycles for everything to regulate. Our general health may be the affected the most. It's very important to have a follow up app w your dr to ensure that your body is healing and that there are no signs of any complications.

” Regardless of what anyone says, a miscarriage is a miscarriage. You do not have to justify your grief or compare it to anyone else’s grief for it to be valid. A chemical pregnancy was still a pregnancy, and for many women, it’s still a loss of a baby and grief that will always they will carry for their entire lives. It’s also OK to not be too sad about a very early miscarriage and to decide you just want to try again.

I have had several miscarriages and have 4 beautiful babies with 1 on the way. The best advice I have is to take it one day at a time and when you all are ready enjoy each other. Don't be anxious about the process if it doesn't happen right away because by the grace of God it may, let it in due time. I personally trusted in Jesus through everything because God is a restorer but that's my testimony and yours is yours. Many blessings to you on this journey.

Well :( I went to my dr this morning for an ultrasound that I've been so excited about. I'm 7 weeks and was hoping to head my baby's heart beat but instead they told me they didn't hear/see anything and informed me that they believe I've had a missed miscarriage. They told me to come back Monday for another Ultrasound and of everything is the same that I would need to schedule a DNC. My heart is broken! I am 26, no kids.

I started my first meeting on Sunday - that was hard but I felt relief. I know I need aftercare - I know I need grief counseling too. I can go thru my work or my church but I want someone who knows what there doing because to tell the truth I have 7 years of he** to come to terms with (I used to numb EVERYTHING). Something's still overwhelm me but I know now what it feels like so I take a walk or go someplace quiet or simply focus on breathing - it gets me past that moment.

I googled complicated grief and found information at the Mayo.com site. "For some people, feelings of loss are debilitating and don't improve even after time passes. This is known as complicated grief. In complicated grief, painful emotions are so long lasting and severe that you have trouble accepting the loss and resuming your own life.

I'm right there with you.

One moinute im fine then the grief kicks in again and i still see her lying on the hospital bed lifeless.They say times a great healer i know its only been 6 weeks but i still cant get my head around it.If it wasnt for my two daughters i think i would have given up.Its just not fair my wife was only 45.

Should I be asking my doctor about this? For any other Catholic pregnant ladies, what would you do? In other words, help!

I was pregnant in may, with the same guy. I had a miscarriage. I feel nearly the same way I did then, slightly tender breasts, slight cramps, small headaches. and for some reason I just feel like I am. I don't really know what to do at this point. I just got a job at a sandwich shop here, and I'm thinking about working here for a few months and then going back home where I have family and friends. is this what I should do? I considered getting an abortion.
