Now, even if Levy wasn’t a friend, I reckon I would have found this story pretty sad. Talking about miscarriage is hard, partly because it’s so sad, and partly because it still feels like a private, shameful failure. The former will never change, but the latter might if more women feel able to share their experiences. But on a personal level it is devastating and I’m pretty sure even women in Yemen feel sad when they miscarry. Miscarriage may be relatively common, but no woman should apologise for feeling uniquely sad about it.
