Your loved one has just lost the most precious thing, a piece of their heart and soul – their baby.
Don’t be afraid to cry with them, share with them their pain, let them cry, allow them to grieve over their loss. Let them talk about it and don’t just assume if they are having a good day or haven’t spoken about it for weeks, that they’re over it.
Call them, let them know that you care. Be honest, if you don’t know what to say or do for them. But let them know you are there for them, anytime.
Acknowledge their baby. They want to feel that their baby did exist. Their hopes, dreams, love, excitement, happiness, protective instinct was taken away in an instant and they are left feeling lost, lonely, failure, guilt, confused and isolated.
If she does fall pregnant again, be understanding by considering her anxiousness and fears for this baby, especially at the same stage as her last. Acknowledge her fears, they are real and valid.
