Depression, even to the point of needing antidepressant medication, is not uncommon. A woman who has experienced this loss may find comfort in those close friends and family members who share her experience. They may help her feel less isolated and comfort her with the knowledge that there are many others who have gone through the same ordeal and have come out fine in the end. Regrettably, many people will say things that they believe are helpful, but seldom are. The intent was to comfort, but the result is much different.
Most people report that their sadness eases with time.
For the others, there are support organizations for mother's that experience pregnancy loss, including miscarriage. Most physicians and hospitals have referral information for such groups in their area. Often women want to know when it is safe for them to attempt pregnancy following a miscarriage. Usually the body is ready long before the emotions are. When she is feeling better emotionally, then it is usually safe to resume trying to become pregnant.
