Honestly it took me a very long time to get over and i wish that i had the counseling. I constantly had night mares and was always reminded. Just remember that it is ok to feel this way because you have been violated, but i agree with everyone else, it is never too late for counseling. Thankfully my husband helps me out quite a bit. My husband is also in the military and it is hard to deal with the husband being gone, much less the other things that are on your mind. Give counseling a try and see how it goes. What else do you have to lose?

 You need to seek counseling which can help you through the trauma you still experience as a result of the rape and your subsequent pregnancy/miscarriage.
there is no other way. I promise, counseling will help far better than any advice any of us could give. You might not see immediate results, but you will learn a lot that can help you throughout your life so that this doesn't own you anymore.
