I never even thought about it but I was recently browsing the Groups section on Craigslist for a mom's group or playgroup and came across an ad for a Pregnancy Loss Support Group.
I wasn't sure if I was into it or not but I forwarded the ad info to myself for future reference.
But now, I find myself thinking more and more about it. And I'm thinking maybe I'd like to go. Maybe it would help. I just don't know though. I'm kind of the sort of person who takes things in stride "Yes, this sucks but I'll get through it! Let's go to the beach and play! WOO HOO!"
Although, deep down inside I feel a lot of anger, sadness, resentment, fear and many, many more tumultuous emotions.
I guess, I just need a little push. Or some insight?

If there was a support group anywhere near me I would be all over it.
But I'm not just talking about loss, there are also no infertility groups on my area. But, if there were, I would go to them.
I think you should just do whatever it is you feel that you need to do hun. Grief is a hard thing to manage, but it needs to be managed. However, you need to do it in whatever way you feel is best.
(*hugs*)

I can relate to you concerning this. There is a support group at the hospital I go to and they meet once a month and even plan a walk (fundraiser) each year. I want to get involved but was very scared almost. I know I can go at anytime so I just am waiting until I feel I can get up the courage.
In the meantime, I am in grief counseling and it is helping and has helped me tremendously. I too am the kind of person who can push my feelings down and I have been doing it all my life. I lost my parents very young under very traumatic circumstances and just went on with life and each obstacle that was in my way I got through and moved on. Well, I had an ectopic last year and it was like nothing. I picked up the pieces and moved on. This last loss...I broke down and fell apart. You can only keep things inside for so long before they explode and you go crazy.
I always heard that but dammit it is true! I say go for it. It may make you feel better and if not...then at least you know.
There is an infertility support group in my area, but since I am a nurse and my schedule is kinda hectic so I never make it. But one day I will go, I think it is good to talk to people that can relate to what you have been through.

Rhiann- I am sorry that you suffered another loss. (((HUGS))) re-current loss is so hard, probably the hardest thing that I have been through. I also would push it aside and stride along especially after my 3 rd loss but it still creeps up on you. I would have loved the opportunity to at least check out a real life support group.

I went to one for a couple of years. I think it helped me for a while, so I would always suggest giving it a try. You could call the leader of the group and ask some questions and say you plan to come and try it. Ours was mostly a group of later loss parents, but there was absolutely no reason to exclude the moms who came with early loss situations. We are all missing babies and have so much in common about the emotions we have to cope with, it's great to feel in one room together. I felt the least insane among those people, to put it bluntly.
(((Hugs))) and best wishes.
