Here is my pitch:

Unlike in the past, more women are having miscarriages today and some struggle to get over
it. Even the healthiest of us have miscarriages and although we cannot find out why, we can
do something to make ourselves feel happier post-miscarriage. My article on how you can
overcome depression if you learn to get back to doing what you love in the quickest time
possible will be relevant to all those who have known the pain of experiencing this
heartbreak.

Five months into my pregnancy, I started miscarrying and tests showed that my baby had no
heartbeat. I was asked to go into induced labour and after several hours, baby came partly
out, dangling, when I went to the washroom. It was indeed a painful experience - physically
and mentally. To get my mind off this terrible episode, I wrote whenever I could on my
hospital bed and when I was discharged, the first thing I did was compose a poem then and
there (on the day I came home) for a poetry contest that had its deadline the next day. My
mind was emotionally saturated and strangely, at the peak of its creativity and of course, I
won - first prize. I was so grateful for this appreciation, for this confidence booster which I
sorely needed. Most people will ask you to take rest but I'd say get back to what you
wholeheartedly love doing and that itself will heal you.

As I have experienced more than one miscarriage, I feel this would resonate with other
women who have had a similar experience but most importantly, instead of wallowing in
sorrow, it would motivate them to bounce back by immersing themselves in their gifts. This
can give them a fresh perspective.

I'm a professional English teacher from Sri Lanka but am currently residing in the UAE. I
have a BA in English and am currently reading for my Masters in Linguistics. I have been
writing poetry ever since I was a child. Short stories and personal essays are also my thing
although I haven't written them as frequently as I have written poetry. Furthermore, I've won
awards for Creative Writing since my school days and have written hit plays for school
Drama days.
