How do you deal with miscarriage?

Question

My wife and I found out a while back that she was miscarrying, even though she has a birth control implant in her arm. I am extremely depressed and upset about it, even though it was very early term. I was wanting to know how we can overcome this. I need help. I have been turning to liquor as a solution. I feel like I am becoming an alcoholic. If you have any suggestions, or groups that can help, please let us know. I feel like I'm losing my mind. I can't even begin to imagine how my wife is feeling...
Also, we named the lost baby Nancy Joy. If you'd keep her in your prayers, my wife and I would appreciate it very much.
God bless you.

Are you sure she was pregnant? If it was really early, it might just be a period.

Turning to liquor will make your wife think you are not suitable as a father. If you want future children, you need to stop now. If you can't stop, then go to Alcoholics Anonymous and get help. You can also see your doctor to get help.

You also need her to see the doctor to see why the implant didn't work. I suggest you use two methods, perhaps condoms with spermicide or an implant plus condoms.

I've been where your wife is. I miscarried at 4 weeks back in July and believe me the best ting you can do is hold her. She needs you to do that. Let her cry and tell you how she feels and then share with her what you feel. Its the only way to get through it. And once you're done mourning consider talking about when you wish to start trying for another. Also remember God never gives us more then we can handle.

God Bless and your family is in my prayers tonight.
