- The Complete List of Do’s and Don’ts When Supporting the Bereaved (Note: I do disagree to an extent with some of the content. While I do 100% believe that God is in control, I do agree with her that it is not at all helpful to say, “It was meant to be.” But I disagree that you shouldn’t mention faith at all. It was so encouraging to my heart to hear people simply tell me they were praying for me.)
Health:
- Healing After a Miscarriage
- Healing Physically after a Miscarriage
- Healing Emotionally after a Miscarriage
- I also want to add that it is so so important to take care of yourself if you are experiencing a miscarriage. With my first miscarriage, I hardly ate and I only took one supplement one time. I was so exhausted, dizzy, and weak. With my second one, I ate and took my Iron and Vitamin C supplements. Such a huge difference! Even though the second miscarriage was somewhat harder physically, the recovery was much easier.
