After a pregnancy loss, you and your partner may experience an array of emotions in addition to grieving. If you find yourself struggling, know that you’re not alone and your feelings are normal. Addressing loss is difficult, but you can take a  step towards recovery by connecting with your support system. Open up to friends and family, reach out to a mental health professional, or explore to provide you with the care you need.

In the moment, trying again to conceive may feel daunting, but it is important to stay optimistic.
