How to Support Someone Who has had a Miscarriage or Stillbirth |
è Support both parents in all the
emotions they are feeling at this time.
|
|
|
è Allow both parents to cry and
express their emotions.
|
|
|
è Listen, Listen, Listen without
judging or giving your opinion.
|
|
|
|
è If you are not sure what to say,
just say "I am really sorry for your loss" |
|
|
|
|
|
What Not To Say |
è You can always have another child.
|
|
|
è It was for the best, there was
probably something wrong with the child.
|
|
|
è You are lucky it happened so early
in your pregnancy before you really became attached.
|
|
|
è Next time maybe you shouldn't get
so attached until you are further into your pregnancy.
|
|
|
|
è It wasn't really a child yet, why
are you so upset? |
