Jade E. Bilardi et al.

Summary: Miscarriage and recurrent miscarriage have profound and prolonged psychological impacts, yet support for miscarriage remains inadequate. Acknowledgment and validation of grief, provision of information, and addressing the discrepancy between bereavement care offered and desired are important steps to ameliorate the impact. Collecting national miscarriage data and establishing national research funding priorities would allow for a better understanding of the socioeconomic cost and burden of miscarriage and enable targeted research for public health benefit.
