I was guided to write about my experience of miscarriage, as I was helped by a few of the personal stories I read online. If this issue is still taboo, then I hope this also contributes to opening the conversation wider and sharing our loss and suffering with open hearts.

I hope that this blog can be of comfort to you or someone you know.

Very often, in the midst of difficulty or suffering it can be almost impossible to imagine that you are strong and your soul is invincible.

As humans, we feel weakness, failure and disconnection from our true self. We go through dark nights, feelings of helplessness or powerlessness. These are unavoidable aspects of the human experience.

Yet the soul perseveres and endures.

Solace can be hard to find during any kind of loss. Yet comfort is what the heart most longs for during experiences of grief and mourning.

We lose loved ones through death, illness, and even dementia or divorce. Loss occurs in many ways and grief is an entirely natural response, seen in humans as well as in animals.
