When my son passed away there were many well-meaning comments given to me that just rubbed me the wrong way. I know that most of these comments are meant for good. But I think that most grieving parents can come up with their own list of phrases not to say to a grieving parent.
1 in 4 women suffer child loss. It is vital to keep the memories alive of these precious babies. The child loss community is making great strides in breaking down barriers and preconceived notions about child death. It will only be when bereaved families can feel heard and their children acknowledged that we know our job is done.
Should a grieving parent affected by child loss just “hush” and accept every comment thrown their way?
