Not before time. As a Fertility Coach and therapist I work with many clients who have experienced miscarriage, still birth and loss. It’s a difficult time with lots of different emotions to cope with. Time out from the work-place is essential, away from prying eyes, difficult questions without answers. A loss like that can make or break many relationships so talking to someone who is not involved but understands can help with the process of getting through the trauma and working towards being able to function again. Dealing with guilt, blame, anger and many more emotions can help you move forwards before even considering to continue on your fertile journey.
