Miscarriage And Loss I am that One in Four: LetĘźs Talk about Miscarriage.
I
am a survivor of child loss. A subject that is very difficult to talk about, but talk we must. It’s ironic that while on one hand because of the fact that statistically one in every four pregnancies end in loss, and thus we have a tendency to normalize miscarriage whenever the issue is broached upon, on the other hand, there is an unsaid taboo on discussing the same. Before I had to suffer through this personally, I had hardly come across a conversation discussing this and thus could not have envisioned it in even my wildest dreams, and yet when I did discuss it myself, to my surprise many females I knew had borne this pain and suffering bravely at some point of time in their lives. This article is just an effort to highlight why is a dialogue on miscarriage important, and why we should not be doomed to grieve in silence when we could all do so openly and collectively, sharing the pain and remembering our lost angels, irrespective of the whether we are now blessed with our rainbow babies or not.
