    💫I’m so sorry if this is something you or someone close to you is going through. Here are gentle self-care tips for after a miscarriage, with sensitivity and compassion:
    .
    .
    ⚡Allow Yourself to Grieve
    Grief is not linear. There’s no “right” way to feel.

    Let yourself cry, be still, feel angry, or feel nothing all of it is valid.
    .
    .
    ⚡Rest Your Body:
    Your body has been through a lot.

    Prioritize rest. Sleep, hydrate, and eat nourishing meals, even in small portions.
    .
    .
    ⚡Say No Without Guilt:
    It’s okay to withdraw, decline invites, or avoid triggering spaces.

    Protect your emotional space.
    .
    .
    ⚡Talk When You’re Ready:
    Whether it’s a friend, therapist, partner, or support group — speaking can help lighten the emotional weight.

    But only when you’re ready.
    .
    .
    ⚡Practice Gentle Movement:
    When you feel up to it, walking or stretching can help ease tension in your body and mind.
    .
    .
    ⚡Avoid Rushing Decisions:
    You don’t need to “try again” or “move on” on anyone else’s timeline. Take your time. Healing is not a race.
    .
    .
    ⚡Create Space to Honor the Loss:
    Light a candle, write a letter, name your baby, or simply sit in silence.

    Rituals can help bring peace and closure.
    .
    .
    ⚡Limit Social Media:
    Seeing pregnancy posts or baby content can sting.

    It’s okay to mute, unfollow, or take a break.
    .
    .
    ⚡Seek Support if You Need It:
    Grief counseling, miscarriage support groups, or talking to your doctor — you deserve support, not silence.
    .
