She was constantly calling me on the phone and describing how she was trying to physically hurt herself. She once stuck her finger into a fan on purpose while talking to me on the phone. I had to tell her family about that incident. She required professional help and being on an anti-depressant medication to recover after her miscarriage.
I cannot offer any ideas on the amount of time, it should take to recover from the lost of a baby because of a miscarriage. Most articles I have read say anywhere from 12 to 24 months are normal. I will say that it helps, if you are eventually successful at having a baby to parent as I feel that was necessary for my recovery.
While it did not replace the babies that I had lost, I did then have someone to love and care for and someone to love me back. It did make me more appreciative of my children and I don't feel I took being a parent for granted.
