Pregnancy Loss

If it happens to you, you can feel alone and helpless. Unfortunately, miscarriage is a very common occurrence and it can effect people in many different ways.

Miscarriage is a particular type of loss and brings with it particular kinds of feelings. After a miscarriage, you grieve for a person you never knew, and for a relationship that ended before it really began. You grieve not for a person who has lived and died but for an unlived life. You grieve for the loss of your future as the parent of the baby who has died. You are sad not just because of what you have lost but because of what will never be. This is different to grieving for, say, an elderly person who has died, and it can be hard for people who have no experience of miscarriage to understand.

Grieving after an early miscarriage can also be difficult because the strength of your feelings may seem out of proportion to what has happened to you physically. You are grieving for the loss of your baby, yet at the time of your loss, your baby may have only just begun to grow. These feelings are normal and you need to allow yourself time to grieve.

Grief after a miscarriage is also different to other sorts of grief because of the physical process you have been through. The loss is physical as well as emotional.

How can reflexology help you at this time?B/>

As part of the healing process, Reflexology has enormous benefits to offer. Physically it can help to rebalance and normalise your hormones following their roller-coster ride.
If you have been through a medical procedure, ERPC, then it can help with the recovery following the general anesthetic and operation.
Reflexology can help with the grieving process, allowing you the time and space to deal with emotions that you are now experiencing. During the treatment you can talk about your experience, which can be intensely cathartic. Equally you may want to be quiet during your treatment. It is your time and you can use it however you need to and I will respond to and respect your needs during your session.
