Most people remember their miscarriages as a strange whirlwind of emotions that was surreal. First you get caught in the grips of the fear of what might happen, then as you go through the actual miscarriage, the immense sadness, anger, and disappointment.  Somewhere through all that fog of grief, there may be other children dealing with their own understanding of the situation, these are the siblings of the miscarried baby.  As hard as it may be this isn’t the time to gloss over death to child, it is time to open honest and sincere lines of communication with your other children. They need to know that people die because they get extremely ill, or get extremely hurt. You will be amazed how much children can understand.  By not talking to your children they may fear death, even go as far feeling guilty and somehow responsible for the loss.
