My husband and I have been trying for almost a year, and I’ve just confirmed with my doctor that I’ve had a miscarriage this past week. I haven’t told anyone other than my husband, I am still working like usual. It’s hard to respond when people ask how I am doing.

So sorry to hear that. Life plans such as having a baby are more important than your career in the long run. If you need more time and less stress to focus on life plans maybe take some time off from work. Best of luck!

I’m so sorry

I’m so very sorry and I would suggest looking at your bereavement policy. If you feel the need to take the time off, you should do it. I’ve been there and I just kept working to keep my mind off of it. I was really thankful to be working from home.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have experienced the same thing, and I know how hard it is.

I recently watched a YouTuber sharing her experience. You might find it helpful. You are not alone. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=13EGoC9MyIQ

I'm so sorry for your loss. Please take at least a day or two to allow yourself to grieve. With my first miscarriage I didn't know what to do with myself, so I went to a spa to get a massage, thinking maybe it would just help alleviate the pain and stress. I ended up just crying it out on the table. I had to wait a little over a week for the D&C after that, so it was especially hard working through it.

With my second I was emotionally numb and thankfully was able to schedule the D&C a day after finding out so I could talk some days off to heal and grieve.

With both I was very down and pretty quiet at work and at home for at least 3 weeks after. No one can understand what you're going through unless they've dealt with it. It's a real loss, despite what any idiots try to tell you, and you deserve the time you need to get though it. Wishing you lots of healing and future happiness on this journey.

I’m so sorry. Please take care of yourself, and if you’re comfortable sharing with your coach or someone else you trust at the office, please do. Your people will want to support you however they can.

Anyone other staff feel like the biggest contributor to stress during busy season isn’t the workload. It’s the lack of support or help while you’re just thrown into the deep end not knowing how to swim? In-charges, especially the newly promoted ones are either hit or miss or they’re way too busy with their own work. I almost feel like I’m ready to quit because no job is worth the mental health sacrifice.
