When Someone You Love Is Grieving
You don't need to have the perfect words. You don't need to know how to make things better. When someone you love experiences pregnancy or infant loss, your presence, patience, and willingness to listen can mean more than you realize.
Three Ways to Show Up
Choose Your Words With Care
Acknowledge their loss without searching for a silver lining or an explanation.
Offer Practical Support
A meal, an errand, or help with everyday tasks can ease the weight of daily responsibilities.
Keep Showing Up
Remember their baby, check in beyond the first weeks, and respect their changing needs.
