July 17, 2017

Patti the Bereavement Councillor at the Early Loss Clinic I had visited gave me a list of a few support groups in my area to consider if I felt I needed extra support. I went to my first meeting on Monday, July 17, 2017. It was a specific meeting for Miscarriage Losses. I know I am not ready to be around any pregnant ladies yet.

There were many wonderful women there - especially Lori-Ann the founder of the Angel Whispers. We went around and had our introductions. There were two members who had been there before, and two new people - including me. It was so hard hearing everyone's stories. Too many lost wanted babies and so much heart ache. (I won't go into details as their stories aren't mine to tell.)

I was the last person to share. I immediately broke down into tears. The anticipation of it being my turn to share got to be too much, and there were so many emotions in me by that time. After a moment I was able to get through the details of my story. It felt freeing to share my stories with others who knew exactly how I was feeling and being heard about my grief I felt.


The meetings meet once a month and I am already so thankful for them. They do bring out a lot of emotions but I feel that those emotions need to come out. This has been by far the hardest experience I've ever had to go through. I definitely need the support!
