The 6 Steps of Healing Approach to Miscarriage

12/31/2017 updated June 2024
This story unfolds differently for each person, but all people who have experienced miscarriage have this in common:  First you were pregnant.  And then you were not. Your womb is empty and so are your arms. 

Some find relief in the loss while others are devastated. Some face it stoically, while others crumble under the weight of their grief.  There is no 'right way' to walk this journey.  But there are guideposts along the way to help you as your journey unfolds.  This post is written for those first days when a miscarriage is imminent or beginning, but is not yet complete. It uses Susun Weed's 6 Steps of Healing model to help you explore your options to bring the miscarriage to completion. It can be difficult to think clearly in the midst of loss - I hope this tool will be useful to you in a difficult time.  <3
