“What to Say”
In times of grief, everyone grieves a little differently. In the grief over the loss of a child in-utero, some people don’t know what to say. Sometimes, there are no right words to say. Just saying that you are there for us and that you care is all you really need to say. Just remembering that our child existed no matter how long is a treasure to me. It is hard because no one got to meet him, or feel him move except for me, so it is understandable to not have the same connection. But he did exist and he was loved.
Just be there. That is all you can do when someone is grieving. Be there when they need to talk. Be there when they just need to cry. Even if you are thousands of miles away, just calling and seeing how we are doing occasionally is being there for us.
