Miscarriage Impact Map

A two-page miscarriage impact map for noticing how grief, shame, guilt, fear and loss are showing up, with space to rate each area today and across the week.

You might find this helpful if…

• you have experienced a miscarriage, recently or some time ago
• the loss feels hard to put into words, or has gone unrecognised by the people around you
• you would like to see the many layers of what you are carrying in one place
• you are bringing this experience into therapy and would like somewhere to begin

This resource won't tell you what to do

There are no scores to reach and no order to follow. You can rate one area or all sixteen. Each number is a way of noticing, not a judgement. A high rating reflects how much this loss matters to you.

What's included

• Page 1: a landscape A4 Impact Map with sixteen areas. Each area has space for a rating out of 10 today, a rating this week, and words or sensations
• Page 2: an optional notes and reflections table listing all sixteen areas, with a column for what each area may need
• Gentle closing questions to help you settle after reflecting

The Impact of Miscarriage may be helpful if you're experiencing…

• crushing grief and waves of despair
• grief that others do not recognise or cannot see
• shame about your body, or a sense that it let you down
• guilt and self-blame
• flashbacks or intrusive thoughts
• physical aching, or the feeling of empty arms
• envy, or a loss of standing in social spaces
• anger at the world, at God, or at yourself
• fear of loss happening again, or anxiety about future fertility
• strain and unspoken grief within your relationship
• a loss of identity as a mother or parent
• the lasting impact of the miscarriage and the medical experience
• questions of "why me?"

This resource is not…

• a diagnostic or clinical assessment
• a timeline for how grief will unfold
• a replacement for medical, midwifery or specialist support
