I will start with my wife miscarried with our first child at around 6 weeks. I was so excited, more so than I knew I could be. I had noticed the way I thought was changing. She was in a bit of pain late last Tuesday night and had a shower and come out bleeding so heavily that I just knew my child was gone. Now I just have no idea how I am meant to be. I feel numb and angry and sad and unsure. Angry at how awful my wife was treated, as the hospital all but forgot her several times. Sad because I never knew I wanted something so much and something is just broken. Numb because I know I should be sadder than I am, but I just feel…I don’t know. How long till things are better. What should I be doing? Will that image of her covered in blood ever go away? I am doing all I can to make sure she is okay, and she is by far the more stoic of the two of us (always has been) but I am just lost at what I am meant to do. Will the feeling I did something to cause this ever go away when I know logically I didn’t. submitted by /u/DukeKemppy91
