Every single day in the US, 2,000 women lose a baby to pregnancy/infant loss. That’s 700,000 a year, a quarter of every female in this country. So why does no one talk about it? – www.iamtheface.org
The discussion that followed this post was interesting. I know I don’t talk to others about their miscarriage/stillbirth/death of living child because I don’t want to make the person feel uncomfortable or sad. Some said they didn’t know the statistic was that high. Others said they were afraid to talk about something they didn’t understand or hadn’t experienced. One person said talking about their loss made it seem more real. Another said they had not forgotten about the loss of their child so why would it be painful to mention it? Sometimes you need to make yourself uncomfortable to make someone else comfortable.
