What you can say to a Friends who has had a Miscarriage

"When you've decided what you want to do with your baby's clothes, toys and furniture, I'll help you sort through it all. And if you need to cry, I'll bring the tissues."

"Let me take your baby's sibling to the park, read a story or tickle their toes. I know you don't feel like laughing or playing right now."

"I'm going to run errands now---is there anything I can pick up or do for you?

"Be patient with yourself and give yourself time to heal."

“I’m so sorry for your loss.”

“I’m praying for you and your family.”

“Is there anything I can do for you right now?”

“If you ever want to talk about it, I’m here.”

Flowers, hot meals, wine, and child care are appropriate. This is grief - plain and simple, not just a long menstrual cycle that didn’t turn into a baby. Mentioning my miscarriage is not going to unhappily “remind” me of my grief—I’m already thinking about it. But acknowledging my loss helps me heal.
