Some people say that a miscarriage is too private to discuss at work. But why? It’s an important part of a woman’s experience. It is not dirty or evil or shameful. A large number of women will have miscarriages in their lifetime. It’s part of being a woman. And most men at the office have lived through the miscarriage of a significant other. It’s an experience that happens over weeks, not hours. And it happens at work. We talk about death at work. We talk about violence at work. We talk about emotional problems such as breakups and mishaps and major disappointments. Why can’t we talk about miscarriage? Who is hurt by keeping the topic taboo?
