No way, she's just full of shit. I'm sorry for her loss, because I do know what it's like, but stop the flowery over descriptive prose with unnecessary embellishing because she comes across as an idiot instead of a real person.

"I dropped to the floor with him in my arms, humming a lullaby to keep us both calm, the cheerful tune a stark contrast to my sense that something was not right," she wrote.

It is so interesting that you pulled out these sentences as untruthful. I was cringing at their dishonesty as I was reading them only minutes earlier on the NYTimes.

Ultimately I think Markle is just not as smart as most people, and that is why she keeps pitching things incorrectly, striking the wrong chord and pissing a large portion of the population off. That and the fact she is a narcissist.

I'm the PP you responded to. The whole thing reads like she's painting herself as an ethereal Madonna come down from heaven instead of a real person experiencing raw emotions. The miscarriage experience sucks. There's a lot of blood, and I was scared, angry, and just sad. I wasn't kissing my husbands clammy hand wet from our mutual tears. I was numb, in shock, and trying to understand what was happening. None of this piece resonated with me or felt true. Who is the intended audience?

As a narcissist, it's unlikely she even felt those emotions--they are emotional sponges and thrive on the need for admiration, empaths are highly sensitive and in tune with other people's emotions. Many women don't go through a lot of emotion or grief over a miscarriage, especially early on. But it doesn't fit her narrative at all, and it would not suit her image to say "hey, I had a miscarriage, these things happen and it wasn't that big of a deal".

Everything she does and says is manipulative. She lost me years ago when she said she didn't know who Harry was when she was told about him. Yeah, right.

For a wanted pregnancy, which Meghan said it was, I find it hard to believe she didn't feel anything remotely normal. I can see an unwanted pregnancy or one a person was ambivalent about ending in miscarriage being a relief to some people. But Meghan's piece is just a bunch of sophomoric drivel. The NYT has no standards anymore.

How far along was she?

MM’s miscarriage story is making news at the same time Christina Perri lost her daughter—stillborn at 32 weeks.

Every loss is hard. But if MM was very early on, then her emotionally wrought write-up is a bit tone deaf.

I’ve suffered 3 MCs by the way. An early MC isn’t the same as a later loss.

Also: I hate it when people celebrity-splain things we already know and elevate it to something it is not for their own purposes. Miscarriage isn’t shameful, it is rather common, and she isn’t brave for sharing. Rather, she’s vying for sympathy to shift the narrative. She wants to be a celebrity who is adored. Gross.

I agree. I read this because it sounds like an early loss, which is what I experienced. I did not read Chrissy Teigen's piece because I knew the gist of what happened and I can't even imagine how much harder her 20ish week loss (don't remember exactly) would be and I'm sure it was just incredibly sad and painful and I can't imagine and don't want to.

Right?? I am so sad that the NYT isnt what it once was. Embarrassing. And the big Duchess of Sussex byline is just ridiculous

PS — the semi-royal family member who was the trailblazer here was Zara, who openly shared two miscarriages.

I thought it was great. Open and honest.

Bunch of DCUM phonies.

Open and honest? It's a breathtakingly fake and juvenile attempt at writing. She's trying so hard to cultivate an image that isn't real that she came up with something like this which comes across as contrived, false, and attention seeking. She's as far as real and genuine as a person can possibly be.

I am sorry for their loss but Meghan Markle somehow rubs me the wrong way, like Meghan McCain.

I saw the article and came in here eager to see how you guys would criticize her for sharing. And you did not disappoint!

Can we all agree that if MM tries to trademark “Are you okay?” or otherwise commercialize it (perhaps printing it on a tote bag or launching a wellness campaign on areyouokay.com) we will finally write them off for the attention-seeking money-grubbing grifters they are?

Wonder if they told his father and brother about the miscarriage as many men would do? If not, this is a belly s a way for them to learn about it. If so, Charles, William, and the family used the type of discretion Meghan failed to embrace. We didn’t hear a peep of omit from the BRF which also has a leak. I suspect Harry did not tell them

(((Slow 80s movie golf clap)))

She masterfully crafted a narrative that simultaneously paints her as a sympathetic victim and brave hero while dropping knowledge on COVID, BLM, the election, etc. wrapped up in a little bow aimed at launching the “Are you okay?” movement. The fake NYC cab driver/sobbing stranger vignette was dicey, but she managed to make that fictional story about herself, once again painting herself as the sensitive hero.

Why?

Why does she think the world needs her special brand of wisdom?

And, how will she ultimately commercialize this?

Stay tuned.

I had these thoughts when I read the story too. I also assume that if MM was further along she would have included that detail in her writing.

She absolutely would have milked a late term loss. For now she is probably just trying to milk her 7 week loss for all its worth because she wants to be though of as brave for sharing her all too common story. Problem is too many people have been down the same road and think her piece is trash due to the way it's written. She's gross at this point, nothing else to say.
