When a Friend Loses a Baby

What To Do

What to Say and What Not to Say

Don't Say This

"Everything happens for a reason!"

"At least you know you can get pregnant!"

​"God needed another angel!"

"At least you have another child already."

"I know how you feel. When I lost my dog ..."

​

Say This

"I am so very sorry for your loss."

"I'd love to bring dinner. When is the best night to drop it off?"

​"I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you."

"I am here if you'd like to talk about your precious baby."

​"I love you, and I am here for you."
