Abstract This study aims to explore miscarriage through the theory of ambiguous loss. The sample consisted of 10 females currently seeking support services related to their miscarriage experience. From the data, six primary themes emerged from the miscarriage experience, including: Emotional Toll; Stolen Dreams; No One Understands; He Loves Me in a Different Way; Why? I Don’t Understand; and In the End, I Have My Faith. The findings in the current study suggest ambiguous loss theory may not fully capture the experience of miscarriage. Clinical implications and future research directions for this population are discussed.
