Journaling & Meditation After Miscarriage: First Steps to Healing
Grief after pregnancy loss has a way of leaving us feeling untethered—like we’re caught between the life we once knew and the one we never asked for.
When words fail and the heart feels heavy, we need practices that ground us, hold us, and help us gently move through the waves of sorrow.
Two of the most powerful tools I have found for navigating life after loss are journaling and meditation. Both are simple, accessible, and deeply supportive—but together, they create a healing rhythm that allows us to process, release, and rebuild.
Journaling: Giving Voice to What’s Within
Pregnancy Loss often brings a storm of emotions—sadness, anger, guilt, love, longing—that can feel overwhelming when they stay locked inside. Journaling provides a safe space to pour those feelings onto paper without judgment or expectation.
Through journaling, we:
Give shape to emotions that feel too big to carry silently
Find clarity in the chaos of grief
Create a record of our healing journey, seeing how far we’ve come
Honor the memory of our babies and the love we’ll always hold for them
Even just a few minutes of writing can bring a surprising sense of release and relief.
Meditation: Returning to Stillness in the Midst of Pain
While journaling helps us express and release, meditation invites us to pause and soften. In grief, our nervous system is often on high alert, and our minds replay memories, regrets, and “what-ifs” on repeat.
Meditation allows us to:
Calm the racing mind and find moments of peace
Reconnect with our bodies and our breath
Feel safe enough to rest, even briefly
Create space for hope and healing to enter
You don’t have to sit in silence for an hour—even a few intentional breaths or a guided meditation can help you feel more grounded and supported (and I created a guided meditation for you just for this reason, so you can just put in your headphones & relax & be led).
Why We Need Both
Journaling and meditation work hand-in-hand: one helps you release what is inside, while the other helps you return to center. Together, they offer a gentle balance between expression and stillness, movement and rest—both essential on the path through this unique grief.
