Ashlee Gadd said the hardest part of her miscarriage was reconciling how to walk through her normal days while bleeding and grieving.
“There’s so much I didn’t know about this kind of loss,” the 35-year-old California mom of three told TODAY Parents. “I never understood how much ordinary life continues swirling around… how this process doesn’t happen in a day. It lasts and lingers. I never considered how many women are walking around in public places in the process of silently miscarrying.”
Luckily, Gadd had people to support her. Like Anna Quinlan, a dear friend who she has known for about a decade.
