Miscarriage Support Groups

The unexpected loss of a pregnancy can be devastating. It is not unusual to have trouble coping with miscarriage. Emotions can range from guilt, anger, confusion, and/ or depression. Outsiders may have trouble understanding the depth of your loss. You may wonder why the loss occurred, if you will be able to conceive again, even how to explain your miscarriage when people inquire about your pregnancy. Bay Area support groups are available to help answer your questions and to assist you in managing your grief.
