How does a miscarriage compare to the death of a child?
I consider a miscarriage a death of a child, but for the purpose of this question, “death of a child” means a child that had already been born. Are the two comparable? Is the death of a child worse?
Both loses are devastating but the main difference is how people will react to the person who lost the child. Miscarriages are seen by many as not “real” relationships so the person’s grieving period is suppose to be shorter. In some case people do not even expect you to grieve. (Even though that is totally ridiculous) For a born child, people react totally different.
It really has to do with how a person percieves their miscarriage. For a born child a person has had more time to bond, however, carrying a fetus has a lot of bonding qualities attached to it. So to answer your question, it depends on the person and how they react to it.
