Description
The purpose of the following study was to explore women's unwanted miscarriage loss experiences through duoethnographic dialogues. Together, three participants as co-researchers shared their unwanted miscarriage loss stories and experiences through two separate duoethnography dialogues. Critical dialogue centered around three research questions: (a) what is the nature and characteristics of internal and external dialogues of women who experienced disenfranchised grief as a result of unwanted miscarriage loss?, (b) what internal and external sociocultural challenges have women faced as they grieve a miscarriage loss?, and (c) what mental health implications arise from dialogues of women's miscarriage loss experiences? In harmony with duoethnography methodology, participants identified conversation topics in which to start their critical examination process, and used themselves as the sites of their research (Norris & Sawyer, 2012). Drawing upon aspects of currere (Norris, 2008; Norris & Sawyer, 2012; Pinar, 1975, Pinar et al., 1995) participants looked forward, backward, and at the present moment through a cyclical process as they examined their thoughts, feelings, experiences, and attitudes from various angles. Throughout this introspective process, participants validated, supported, questioned, and challenged themselves and each other. Conversations morphed over time and salient points were identified. Through a deconstruction and reconstruction process, participants juxtaposed their thoughts and experiences into two easy to read restructured, script formatted dialogues. The dialogues exposed, challenged, honored, and gave voice to the many internal and external sociocultural challenges of unwanted miscarriage loss and disenfranchised grief experiences. This study contributes to an in-depth understanding of women's unwanted miscarriage loss experiences. Implications for counselor and counselor educators are also discussed.
