Scenario

When miscarriage feels illegitimate in child loss support groups

I joined a grief group for parents who lost children but I miscarried at twelve weeks and I feel like a fraud among people whose kids actually lived.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The hierarchy of recognized grief leaves some mourners stateless, their love too brief to earn citizenship in communities of loss.
