Yes - this is a great description of why I’ve long been really open about the clubs I’m in. Starting with my first miscarriage when I started talking about it and realized the vast majority of women I knew who were moms had also had at least one miscarriage. It’s easy to feel alone and by talking about it you realize you aren’t.

Hugs.

I had a friend (and coworker) who had a miscarriage. She didn't want to tell anyone but she was struggling. She told a few of us and realized that more than half the wonen we worked with had a miscarriage before, and she never knew. It was a club no one wanted to belong to but also one where it is easy to suffer alone if you don't reach out.
