Meghan Markle: The subject of miscarriage is still a taboo
"
Losing a child
means having an
unbearable grief
that so many experience but so few speak of it".
The experience is not uncommon: in a room of 100 women, around 10-20 had a
miscarriage.
Talking about it remains largely
a taboo
that goes hand in hand with shame and maintains "a cycle of lonely grief," says Meghan Markle.
The strong
Meghan
is now publicly speaking about her loss because she wants to encourage other women to do the same.
She wants
to open
the
door to conversation to ease
the burden of grief for the people outside.
Now she is taking the first
steps of healing
, as she calls
it, together with her husband Harry
.

in public and thus taking a step in the right direction.
