About MISS

Sorry for your loss

The loss of a baby can be a devastating time, and may be difficult for others to understand.  For now the plans for parenthood that you may have hoped for, have been taken away. Each person has their own personal way of grieving, and can react in different ways when faced with a miscarriage and early pregnancy loss. Feelings of sadness can happen at any time, so always remember that you are not alone, and there is support and there are resources available for you if and when you need them. We are sorry for your loss, and we hope to provide you with some sensitive information and resources to help you through this difficult time.
