I'm in the same boat as you. I was very firm about my position about the miscarriage being real. I still am in a way, but the biggest indicator for me that it might not be, is simply how polarized people are about the interpretation of the event. If the miscarriage was real, why would it be written as if there could be two interpretations, right? We know how careful MWT is as a writer. (Unless of course, this is one of those situations where the writer didn't intend to have all these double meanings, but readers found it.) And what is the purpose of it? It didn't serve anything.
I had assumed that the "come back again" might reflect some kind of spiritual belief about souls, but when I looked it up, it turned out that the ancient Greeks were one of the few polytheists who didn't actually believe in reincarnation.
I told booksrgood4u that for now, I'm going to pretend that the miscarriage didn't happen. I mean, I'm going to pretend there's no baby at all, dead or alive. I'm just going to wait it out until the next book, because I'm not sure what to feel about this.
