A month after my second miscarriage, I read a woman’s miscarriage story and devoured it. Having known dozens of women who had suffered miscarriages, I didn’t think the raw relatability of this woman’s story was something I would be so hungry for. But then I realized knowing women have miscarried isn’t the same as knowing their stories. And somewhere in the lonely abyss that is miscarriage grief, I found myself desperate to talk to someone about the less socially acceptable parts of mine.

Part two details a hemorrhage and the medical decisions women may have to face in miscarriage.
