Results: Miscarriage - More common than you think
Published on 06/15/2016
Miscarriage is the loss of a fetus before it reaches the 20th week of pregnancy. My daughter recently had one and we were all devastated by this news, but later found out just how surprisingly common this is.
Would you have some advice to give to one who is grieving the loss of their baby after a miscarriage?

Our daughter was having a hard time with her miscarriage, and a friend offered that I give her this advice: "Write a letter to your baby, about your plans, how you feel, maybe even the name you had chosen and then either keep it in a safe place, or burn it and scatter the ashes." Do you think this is was good advice?
