If it hasn't happened to you, you have no right to criticize the mourning of someone who's miscarried. Everyone's mourning is different. I have no right to say, for instance, that a widow is overdoing it with her reactions or that someone who lost a relative on 9-11 really ought to get over it.

So a person you've known for so long is akin to a baby you might have had but didn't come to fruition past a couple months?
If forced to choose between their husbands and a miscarriage, most women would choose the latter I would think, no?
