I hear you, and am sorry you've had to experience this. My partner has had several losses and so far no successes, but she is now at about 7-8 weeks into her latest pregnancy. So far it seems the most promising we've had yet, but we go for a scan tomorrow, so we'll know more then.

For emotional coping/healing we've been most helped by unconventional practices like energy kinesiology, NET [1] and acupuncture.

It's outside of mainstream psychology/science, but it's worked well for us, to find understanding and maintain optimism.

I'm confident further use of these kinds of practices will keep us from suffering long-term PTSD-type effects, but I've no doubt we'll always be affected by the experience, particularly my partner.

Best wishes to you.
