@Patches59 - I love doing word search books I find it quite soothing and calming, I have been writing out how I feel but I don’t know, I just feel very out of all sorts and control. Am safe

Grieving involves and can cause so many different emotions including feeling numb. @Fluttershy1 totally understandable you feeling out of sorts.
is good in different aspects that you are writing down how you feel. Can sometimes help release the sad feeling so they don’t feel so heavy on your mind and heart.
you are doing amazingly by reaching out to us on the forms and being able to share how you are feeling. You deserve to feel proud of yourself for doing that, I’m certainly proud of you.
im heading off to bed for the night. Hoping you have a pleasant, restful night sleep.
will be around tomorrow to chat, if you like

I hear you @Fluttershy1 🌺🌺❤️🩹❤️🩹
it’s so incredibly difficult to deal with the loss of pregnancy, and I can completely relate to the feelings you’re describing that are happening within you right now 💜
I know there isn’t much else to do besides keep talking, keep reaching out, and keep going, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day 💜🫂
The feelings you’re having are part of this grieving, and I went through them too darling heart 💜
please do reach out to the pink elephant specialist pregnancy loss support team when you are ready - they are peers, and they know what you’re going through, and they can also hold space for you in ways that may even feel like you’re not so alone dearest 💜
my apologies I didn’t reply yesterday - I was a little unwell which kept me off my devices 🌺💜

@Snowie - no plans today, I’ve hit rock bottom, I’ve gone into my hidey hole, I feel like I’ve ran into a brick wall. I feel so down.

@Former-Member - I feel so lost, I feel like I’ve hit a brick wall and fallen flat on my face, I feel numb and alone, it all feels so overwhelming at this point of time, I just want to shut off from everyone, it’s horrible and exhausting. I feel like nobody understands, I have to mask that everything is ok when it isn’t, I’m falling apart in the inside, caring full time and having to act like everything is ok when it isn’t because they don’t understand.
im safe

Yes @Fluttershy1 💜
lots of feeling there’s no way out, and that there’s little understanding - this is unfortunately a theme amongst some of us who have sadly miscarried sweetheart ❤️🩹
keep in your heart that there are those of us who sit with you and hold this very uncomfortable space with you, and understand what it is like to feel this way 🌺🌺
here with you dear 💜
