I came across an article in the supplementary section of today's newspaper... In 'Mind Your Body', there is a short write-up on 'Men too suffer miscarriage blues'. In summary, a group of researchers from Hong Kong did a study on the impact of miscarriages on men after their partner suffers a miscarriage.
The article goes on to explain that 'while it was previously thought that miscarriages did not affect men much because they did not bond with their unborn children, investigators have reported that men also report feelings of loss, sadness and helplessless. They do, however, appear to recover more quickly than women.' The study also found that men were more likely to be optimistic about the possibility of future pregnancies than women.
On the part where the study concluded that 'men appear to recover more quickly than women', I am doubtful... They should see how my poor husband still sheds tears for our two Angels, even until today. They should see the effort he made in getting those pink roses for Chloe on her anniversary while I was out of town. They should hear how he says 'good night' to Lucas and Chloe every night.
Resigned to reality, yes... Recovered? No, not yet.
