My name is Lindsay. I attended the White Feathers Miscarriage Retreat. At
the time I had experienced 3 terminations, 3 miscarriages and a later loss
due to Edwards syndrome. I was in a place where I wanted to make a
difference in my life. I wanted to contribute to my healing journey through
facing some things head on. I was ready for it.

Abortion is life changing. I'm not here to have a pro-life or pro-choice

Do you have a friend who is coping with a miscarriage? 1 in 4 pregnancies
end in a miscarriage. Some women experience many miscarriages. Some women
will experience a miscarriage after they have experienced a healthy
pregnancy. All are experiences that we could face at any time. Yet we are

to someone who is coping with miscarriage is as important as knowing what
to say.
Here are 7 sentences I believe you should NEVER say to someone who has

DEPRESSION AFTER MISCARRIAGE
Losing a baby is a life-changing experience to have to deal with. A
trauma. All your dreams shattered. Many women FEEL ALONE and unable to
communicate the emotional pain that they are having to deal with. Some
manage to cope with what happened and move on with their lives. For others
it stops them in their tracks and they don’t know how to move forward.
