How did you cope with a loss of a baby!?

[Mommyto2]

I had been asking question on here about pregnancy test when to take and everything like that. I was 3 days late. I took a test Friday morning and it was Positive. About 8:30 friday night i started spotting and having HORRIBLE cramps. So i ended up having to go to the hospital. They informed me that i had lost the baby, that my HCG levels were to low and that caused it. So i really have 2 questions, 1- How did you cope with the miscarriage?(I'm up set but i know it happened for a reason) and 2 question is How long should i wait until we try again, the doctor said at least 1 month, but i have heard the longer the better, so your body as time to heal.
