According to the <\/span>American Pregnancy Association<\/span><\/a>, at least 10-25% of pregnancies end in a miscarriage.\u00a0Regardless of whether a child is lost at nine weeks, 13 weeks, 40 weeks, or sometime after birth, the grief parents experience after a miscarriage demonstrates how children are inherently precious to those who are tasked with raising them. It is not unusual for a miscarried child to be mourned by her parents with an intense amount of grief, even though many parents are hesitant to speak about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several notable figures, however, have opened up about the pain of experiencing a miscarriage, which can help others who are facing this loss to know they are not alone.<\/span><\/p>\n
