CYG2012 Day 7: What to say

It really is hard to what to know what to say to someone who has lost a baby. Even for me! That's because you can never be sure of what will be receptive at any time. What's comforting for one person can sting the next. What can sting today can be comforting tomorrow. It's all about perception and life experiences. I've found it's just easier to say your sorry. If this person is close to you then let them know that you will never forget their baby.

Day 7: Over the years I have found that saying the right thing is hard to do. Everyone's grief is different and life experiences makes even the kindest words left up to perception. What works for one person could sting the next. I have found these two phrases have always worked for me. If you're just not sure what to say I'm sorry is always welcomed. And as we are all afraid that people will forget our child over the years, the next phrase is just comforting.
