Anyone taken bereavement for a miscarriage? It’s not our first but this one is hitting me abnormally hard. I know I can use PTO but it feels wrong to do PTO when grieving time is needed.

So sorry this happened to you. We just had a late term loss and I was given a few weeks of personal time similar to what I’d get for bereavement. Each firm is different but I agree worth reaching out to HR.

The hard part is we’ve been here so many times. It’s always early. I usually grieve and move on. This time is a breaking point. I’ll talk to hr.

OP - Just talk with your HR person. I took bereavement this year, and it was simple/straightforward. Very sorry for your loss.

OP how did it go? I’m in a very similar situation to you and idk why this time it’s hurting so much? Maybe it’s because I think we had gotten our hopes up this time and started telling friends and family because she was showing early. Maybe it’s because I don’t think she wants to keep trying anymore and I don’t want to push her either. My wife and I have been trying for a 2nd for a few years now and feels like we’re at the point of giving up. This one happened last night while we’re on vacation at a friends destination wedding during cocktail hour. My wife is a strong woman but man , this one is hurting.
