Liisa – Thanks so much for sharing. For me, an acknowledgment and an offer to listen was really the best thing too. It’s not a fun club we’re in, is it?

Thanks, Marantha. I can tell you that I maintain the same sort of distance to a pregnancy at first, but it doesn’t really work. It really is the loss of hope and dreams; you hit the nail right on the head. I think many people, particularly those going into it for the first time, don’t think about what *could* happen. I mean who wants to live life like that? We pessimists are really in the minority, you know. (-;

I’m so sorry about this.

I would like to hear what other people would like to hear. I always want to say the right thing and somehow always manage to say the wrong thing. I will say that–I’m sure due to my pessimistic/cautious nature–I don’t moon over pregnancies the way some moms do. Especially until about 14 weeks, but even up through my anatomical scan, I don’t think of the pregnancy as a baby and I reserve any loving feeling for once I know things are looking okay. Since so many of my friends and family have experienced the loss of miscarriage, I am acutely aware of how painful it is to have the rug yanked out from under you. All the hopes and expectations, and a budding relationship is just…gone.

I guess I can just extend cyber-hugs to all my friends and family who’ve been there and offer them a willing shoulder and open ears. And I’ll try not to feel too guilty about my belly extending under our hugs…

Lovely article Stephanie. To answer your question, I think I would just ask for acknowledgement of the loss. I know for some it might be difficult to talk about the subject or they just really do not know what to say as they never have experienced what you or I or others might be going through but by saying, “I am so sorry for your loss please know that I / we are here for you if you need to talk or a shoulder to cry on.” would be enough for me.

I have had close friends and family not know what to say so they did not say anything at all. To me, that seemed more awkward and uncomfortable.

Again, thank you for sharing!

Liisa~
