Grieving in a world that doesn’t see you

Too many women have experienced miscarriage within exceptional silence, shame, or minimisation, left to find a way without recognition, language or support.  

Miscarriage does not happen in isolation. It is shaped by the social and cultural fabric surrounding each of us. Something that is woven through relationships, communities, belief systems, and medical institutions. Whether grief is allowed or denied often depends on these contexts.

For some women, miscarriage is met with ritual and remembrance. For others, it is treated as a private inconvenience, a moment to be quickly forgotten. Religious beliefs may offer comfort or compound shame. Family responses may validate or silence. Medical systems may support or dismiss.

For others, their experience of miscarriage occurred in a time where silence was the norm. Where miscarriage was not seen as worthy of mourning, and emotional pain was minimised or medicalised without regard for the heart. In these generations, conversations about sexual, reproductive, and maternal health were often shrouded in euphemism or avoided altogether. When women did speak, they were met not with understanding, but with platitudes, quiet dismissals, or the unspoken expectation to carry on. Their grief was tucked away, unacknowledged, and often unnamed.

And while today’s conversations are slowly shifting, the echoes of that silence remain. For many, the grief of miscarriage still lingers—unspoken, unresolved—held quietly beneath decades of life, love, and resilience.

Daisy exists as a gentle invitation: a unique space where these women can return to their stories, not to relive pain, but to reclaim voice. Here, grief is not questioned. It is honoured. And the fullness of all of our experience—what was lost, what was endured, what was never said—is met with compassion, curiosity, and care.

This silence was not a choice—it was survival. But now, there is space. Space to speak, to reflect, to feel. Whether your story was buried by time or culture, it is welcome here.
