The best thing anyone said during that time is I love you Nothing else seemed quite right.

What do you say when a friend loses a child. Your Dad was a wonderful man. Your love support and prayers are the most important way to help a grieving parent. I cant imagine how heartbreaking that must have been for you.

Learn to live in acceptance of the loss not in spite of the loss. If your friend or family member lost a baby you can say. You and _____ are in my heart.

Grieving parents also want other people to acknowledge their loss and honor their babys memory. I want to help in any way youd like. Share a favorite memory or connection with the child.

When you are with the bereaved person say the name of the one they lost. Well at least you still have two she said. If you ask someone grieving if you can help theyll probably say no.

Avoid starting or participating in a conversation that is less than. After you speak to the family members of the deceased you may join other conversations during the visitation or before the funeral service begins. You dont have to do anything huge or elaborate simply be present to them in their pain and let them know they are not alone.

If you dont know the person very well sending a text or DM shows them that youre thinking of them. Help your friend remember their child. Tell your friend that youre also grieving the loss of the child.
