Article: How Not to Say the Wrong Thing

JennyLynneJennyLynne member
in Late Term and Child Loss


So this article was shared in another community that I'm a part of. It really has hit close to home. No wonder I have such a hard time with my mom some days. It seems like she wants to talk to me a lot about how hard my loss is, since she's the grandparent--and I recognize it has to suck, but I feel like this about me. This article describes exactly how I feel. I wanted to share it here with you ladies in case it's something that makes sense to you. Now I just have to muster up the courage to share it with my mom.

    This is a good article. I'd love to send it to a few family members, maybe then they would stop and think before they speak.

    My sister just lost her twins at 24 weeks and I am desperately trying to say and do all the right things. This article makes so much sense. I just forwarded it to several family members, thank you so much for sharing.
