When NAPS was established many years ago, one of the main goals was to create a special space where women could feel completely comfortable and well supported. A place where women could share their stories, talk about “taboo” topics without judgement, bond, and feel heard. Side note… there are not many off limit topics at NAPS.
When Jamie’s oldest was 6 months old, she got the ultimate surprise. Pregnant with twins. Yes, that math is correct-- 3 children under 14 months old. Cue the feelings of anger, stress, disbelief and being VERY overwhelmed. Fast forward to Jamie’s 12 week ultrasound, where she found out she has miscarried both babies. Cue the feelings of shame, guilt, and more anger.
Trigger warning: In this 2 part series, Emily and Jamie are sharing their personal stories of experiencing loss with miscarriage. Jamie and Emily offer their unique perspectives on the complicated feelings and roller coaster of emotions that accompany miscarriage and loss.
As always, we are here to open the doors to the difficult conversations that so many of us experience, yet so few of us talk about.
