As you probably know, there aren't nearly enough miscarriage support resources out there. Many of the books that have been written are by doctors who have no qualms about using hurtful terminology and who don't understand what it's truly like to lose your baby. So few people recognize that you did indeed lose a baby, and you're left with empty arms and a lot of love for someone you can never meet.

If you're like most, you've probably been on the receiving end of a lot of insensitive comments. People might have said things to you like, "It was for the best," or "at least you know you can get pregnant." They probably never realized how much these types of comments hurt you, and you may have just kept your mouth shut because you knew they'd never be able to understand.

There's so little information out there about miscarriage. But if you had the chance, what would you want to tell the world? What do you wish everyone could really "get" about what it's like to lose a baby?

Now's your chance to tell. Over the next several months, I'll be compiling a collection of your comments and thoughts on what the world needs to know about miscarriage. When I've got enough, I'll format them into an ebook and put it up for sale (the price will be kept low) here on this site. All the proceeds will go to the March of Dimes, SHARE, or another charity that does work with miscarriage research or support. In the meantime, it will also be a resource that you can recommend to friends, relatives, or even doctors who just don't seem to understand.

Want to contribute? Send me an email or post on the open topic in the forum. Be as candid or as passionate as you like. Say what's on your mind and how you really feel. And who knows? We'll see what we can get out of this, and it just might do some good for the cause of miscarriage awareness.
