Friends & Family
of someone who has lost/is losing a baby at any stage
Sometimes things happen in our lives that are personal and leave us feeling vulnerable. I hear so often that mothers suffering a loss are told terribly hurtful things or even ignored by their friends and family. As a birth worker, I often hear the other side of that. They avoid the bereaved family because they didn’t know what to say or they filled the void with meaningless words. Birth is about more than just having a healthy baby. The imprint of birth is left on the mother for the rest of her life and how she feels about it matters. Proper etiquette in speaking to someone in so much pain is not common knowledge. Let me help you help them.
