Miscarriage: The Unspoken Death

Miscarriage is a sensitive subject. In the U.S. about 1 in 5 pregnancies end in a nonviable birth. The problem is how our society reacts to this genuine loss. I hope I can write about this subject in a caring way that recognizes this death and validates the grief this loss can cause. I may not be able to find the right words to truly express the sadness of this experience or do the subject matter justice. But I do believe it is a subject worth taking seriously. Please read this article with that objective in mind even if my words cannot accurately address all the pain this subject may create. It might just help someone to feel genuinely validated for their feelings and their experience. To read this article, go to http://supportivetalk.com/miscarriage-the-unspoken-death/
