Self Care

So today I am processing. I had to take the day off work. I allowed myself to grieve in the knowledge that once again I will most probably suffer another miscarriage.

The limbo in waiting is anxiety level building and the is it/ is it not question is constantly playing through my mind. I feel like a little girl plucking the petals of a flower with your first crush singing he loves me/ he loves me not.

So what am I doing to help with the process, well

1. I am allowing myself to grieve in whatever way I feel I need to (without hurting anyone else or myself)

2. Taking the time (yes I know I am fortunate to be able to do this)

3. Talking with friends/family – one thing I have learnt in my journey is that your people the truest of true will always be their to help you in your highs as well as your lows

4. Spending time with my son – I am not showing pain around him as he was not aware of this pregnancy and whilst I believe has the capabilities of understanding, I feel now is not the time for that.

5. Meditating

6. Hot showers

7. Went for a walk

Each day is a step forward and I need to keep moving in that direction. I know it has only been a day but a lot can happen in that time.

I am curious what others would say who manage grief with self care. What tips would you offer for someone in my situation?
