Do You Know of Any Support Groups for Women Suffering from a Miscarriage?

I know this is a downer request, but I am struggling. I recently had a miscarriage, and if I hear one more time, "most women have one at one point in their lives" I will scream. Preferrably, I'm looking for an online source, but if there is a support group in the Garland/Mesquite area, that would be fine as well.

It's so hard to get through this, any help you may have would be great.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you for the links, and the prayers. It helps to read that others feel that my loss is real, not just some medical procedure.

I don't know of anything formal but I've gone through it myself and I know just how you are feeling.
It takes a lot longer than most other people are willing to allow you to feel "normal." Whatever that is?
I am willing to visit with you about it if you want to. Sometimes a total stranger can be more help than those who know you best.
I was denied the first baby I was pregnant with and the last one too. (the last one was the hardest)
It does get better, but that has loop holes too. I had thoughts like this, "How could you be feeling better, didn't you want that baby?" It is a real mind twister.
It probably sounds terrible to you now but just loving your family and being patient with others who mean well but don't get it will eventually help. One of the things I did to help myself was to put the baby on my personal birthday calendar. It made a sad day every year for me but it helped me to mourn in my own way. Another thing I did when the youngest was old enough was to share with him about his sibling that died. He was a world of comfort. He missed a playmate and therefore we can now talk about that baby together and help heal that pain for me.
It doesn't go away ever, it was your baby. However, with time you can go through the day without that terrible ache every minute.
It takes lots of prayer and lots of love from you family. Don't shut them out, they are just what you need. Email me.

MEND (Mommies Enduring Neonatal Death) is a wonderful and supportive group. I think the web address is MEND.org
