Here are helpful tips on what not to say vs. what you can say instead:
❌"It happens all the time."
✔️"I am here for you when or if you want to talk about it."
❌"Maybe it's because you _______"(fill in the blank)
✔️"It's not your fault."
❌"At least it was early."
✔️"It is heartbreaking at any stage. I am so sorry this happened."
❌"At least you can get pregnant."
✔️"I'm so sorry for your loss."
❌"You can always try for another."
✔️"No child could ever replace this one. Take all the time you need."
As we approach the end of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, let's be reminded to change the way we talk to grieving parents. We want you to know that if you have experienced pregnancy or/and infant loss, our deepest condolences and prayers are with you.
We also want you to know that you are not alone. If you need resources or someone to talk to, Life Choices Clinic may be able to help point you in the right direction. While we don't offer counseling, we do offer support and would love to give you a gift. We know it isn't much and could never make up for the loss; it is just a small way to say we are here, and we care.
