Your Miscarriage Experience

Experiencing a miscarriage effects you in so many different ways.  The emotional, physical and spiritual roller coaster you ride is a difficult one.  I understand, from personal experience, how hard it can be to take that ride.  The relationship you have with your spouse, family, friends and even yourself is stretched.  Would you like the opportunity to share you you felt and dealt with your loss?  I was contacted the other day, asking if I would post a survey here on my blog.  As a healthcare professional I understand the importance of understanding and treating the whole person.  If you don't mind please take the time to complete this survey and let your experience help others.  Here is the info I was sent and the link to the survey. Thank you for your input and time.

Everyone has a unique experience with miscarriage and many find help and support through websites like this one. Unfortunately, little is known about women's experiences of support and how this may affect responses to miscarriage, and so I invite you to participate in my dissertation research study examining women’s experiences following a miscarriage. Although there is no direct benefit to you, survey results may help healthcare providers better understand and meet the needs of women following miscarriage. This online survey takes approximately 15-20 minutes and is open to women who have miscarried a wanted pregnancy in the previous 6 months who are 18 years of age or older, living in the United States, and involved in a relationship with a significant other. Participants are eligible for a raffle for a $50 American Express gift certificate. For more information, please don't hesitate to contact me.
