Sympathy for Meghan and Harry over miscarriage heartbreak – The Yorkshire Post says

THE HEARTBreak suffered by the Duchess of Sussex following a miscarriage will be shared by all those mothers who have lost an unborn baby so tragically.

Torment which can last for years, with many suffering the after-effects in silence because they feel unable to seek the solace and support of others – including health professionals – out of embarrassment.
