How to Help - Resources for Friends and Family

If you are the friend or family member of a parent grieving the loss of a baby, you likely feel at a loss as to how to help or what to do. This page is currently under construction, but please check back for information and resources to assist you in supporting your loved one through their journey of grief. In the meantime, please know that simply being present in the life of a grieving parent is the most important first step. There is no “right” thing to do or to say, no way to ease their pain or to make it go away. For now, just let your grieving friend know that you love them and want to be there for them in any way that you can. Don’t give advice or words of wisdom. Don’t try to make things better. Just love them. Cry with them. And be there…
