The process of having a miscarriage can be frightening, painful and tremendously
disappointing. If you have just had a miscarriage, you may be upset and confused
about what you have just been through. You may feel that something you did brought
on your miscarriage. You may be fearful that you will never have a baby – or another
baby, if you already have children.
But while these may be natural ways to feel, by learning why miscarriages occur and what you can do to reduce your risk the next time you try to conceive, you can help relieve these feelings of confusion, fear and guilt.

There is a beautiful poem, probably familiar to you, called the Serenity Prayer. It was written in 1932 by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. Part of it goes like this:
God,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
Courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference
I had a miscarriage last week and got a d & c the next day after i found out, i was heartbroken, i went to my first ultrasound at 15 weeks and the baby had no heartbeat :/
I agree with what Anonymous said about the last sentence. I am sitting in my living room dealing with miscarrying at 20 weeks about a week ago. I feel like I have to get through the first three months...THEN I have to get through to 20 weeks at least to make myself feel safe.

The last sentence in this article needs to be rewritten. It is not a true statement. Just because you make it past the 20 week mark does not ensure you will go home with a baby...
Thank-you for such a thought provoking article, I also want to add that this article is also useful in providing an overview of resources for dealing with pregnancy loss:
