⚠️ Miscarriage Messages: Words to Avoid

Even the most well-meaning phrases can hurt if they bypass grief. Here’s what not to say:

Phrases to Avoid:

• “It wasn’t meant to be.”
• “At least you can try again.”
• “Everything happens for a reason.”
• “You’re young — you have time.”
• “At least it was early.”

These phrases may seem comforting but often feel dismissive or minimizing.

What to Say Instead:

• “I’m so sorry for your loss.”
• “Your grief is valid. I’m here for you.”
• “I’m holding space for you and your baby’s memory.”

When in doubt, lead with empathy, not answers.

✍️ How to Write a Heartfelt Sympathy Note

A sympathy note can be short — but it can also be one of the most powerful gestures of care. Here’s how to write one with compassion:

1. Start with Empathy

“I was heartbroken to hear about your loss. You’re in my thoughts.”

2. Acknowledge Their Love

“The love you had for your baby will always be part of you.”

3. Offer Support

“If you need someone to talk to, or just sit with, I’m here.”

4. Close Gently

“Take all the time you need. I’ll be here — today and always.”

Tips:

• Avoid platitudes. Presence matters more than perfection.
• Keep it personal, not generic.
• Handwritten is powerful when possible.

Final Thought: The Right Words Don’t Fix Grief — But They Help Carry It

After a miscarriage, even the smallest message can become a lifeline.

You don’t have to say the “perfect thing.”
Just something real. Something that says:
“I see your pain. And I’m not afraid to sit with it.”

That’s what makes a message healing.
