We’re on a mission to make sure nobody feels alone in grief.

Someone asks you “How are you?” when they know you’re hurting and grieving. In reality they could be thinking, “I know you’re 𝒏𝒐𝒕 okay, but I’m uncomfortable with/not sure what to say at the idea of talking about death.” 😬😬😬 Try these instead ⬇️ They have the same intent to invite someone to share, but something about the wording makes it feel more inviting to share. 1️⃣“𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤/𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮?” 2️⃣“𝐈𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰. 𝐖𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭?” 3️⃣“𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐈’𝐦 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝?” Whatever they answer, it is okay. Their answer will give you a sign as to whether or not they are feeling comfortable enough to talk more about that. And if it still feels awkward, you can always say something like, “I don’t have the right words, but I can see that you’re hurting. I want you to know I’m here with you, I’m here to listen.” “I’ll be here for you no matter what your grief looks like.” And then make sure you follow through and show up and keep showing up for them. You just need to be willing to consistently listen and encourage them to share. Many women are verbal processors, so if you can give her a empathetic listening ear as she shares the details of her story, you are giving her a beautiful gift. “𝐼 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑛 𝑡𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢.

Miscarriage straight up is hard. For those of you with aching hearts, your pain is not forgotten or unnoticed. You are seen and loved. You matter. Your baby matters.

If you’re looking to support a friend who has experienced the loss of a child, and aren’t sure what to say, you can always show up with a listening ear. They will appreciate your gentle presence. Bring them their favorite coffee, stay home, go to a park… just show up for them! You can cry with them, laugh with them… just be there in it with them.
