After I had my first miscarriage, I didn’t join a support group. I didn’t look for online resources for navigating grief after a miscarriage. I didn’t go to therapy, at least not right away and not because I thought I needed help recovering from my miscarriage. I did nothing to try to help myself heal.
I waited 2 years to go to therapy and I went because I thought that my husband and I were somehow sabotaging our chances of getting pregnant. I got so much more than I bargained for.
In therapy, I learned some of the tools I needed to truly heal. And it opened up Pandora’s box. I suddenly had a voracious appetite for anything to do with personal development and spiritual healing. I participated in a spiritual business program led by Gabrielle Bernstein. I indulged in everything I could get my hands on and soaked it all up like a sponge.
And I finally healed my body, my mind and my spirit after 3 miscarriages.
In this episode, I’m going to tell you why I didn’t do any of these things in the beginning, what belief I had that kept me from from actively working on my grief and what it meant for my emotional health.
