Enid's miscarriage

[Belly]

Sorry to hear that Julie.

There's been some press recently about how many women feel they can't discuss this even with close friends as they feel it is such a taboo subject, that seems very sad to me and would hope that my friends wouldn't feel that way and that I would be there to support them if they wanted me to.

I'm sorry to hear about that too, Julie.

Enid Blyton had also had an earlier miscarriage while married to Hugh, between the birth of Gillian and the birth of Imogen.

It was over 20 years ago now, Belly and Anita, that length of time is a great healer

That's sad, Belly, as I'm a great believer in talking and getting any sadness out, because if it stays in you, you can then carry around a lot of heavy emotional baggage that can become worse than the problem that started it all off.
