Perhaps the most invisible grief is the one that happens when parents suffer a loss of a pregnancy. With a miscarriage, especially when it’s early, most often friends and family won’t know about it unless the parents choose to tell them.
Just because the grief is invisible to the people around them, doesn’t mean the suffering isn’t real and devastating.
If you find about a friend or loved one’s miscarriage, don’t leave them hurting in isolation. Reach out and let them know you care and that they are in your heart.
First, send them a text or a note and speak straight from the heart. Let them know you’re hurting for them.
A small gift can also show them they’re not alone, but without being intrusive until they’re ready to talk.
