6 things to bring a friend who's had a miscarriage
by Sabrina Garibian posted in Products
Even as she was going through a miscarriage for the fourth time, she said nothing. She kept a smile on her face for her only son's sake, and stayed at the play date until the end. When it was quiet and the other kids had left and the playroom was a bomb, the tears flowed like rivers out of her eyes as she explained what was going on.
I asked her what I could do, but she answered that there was nothing. It was her private journey and private moment of suffering.
It's not true. There are things we can do as friends. It doesn't make the pain go away --but it does let a suffering person know she's not alone, and that you care. Here are 6 things to bring a friend who has had a miscarriage:
A meal: Going through a miscarriage is exhausting both emotionally and physically. Help out a friend who has had a miscarriage by bringing her a meal. My go to dish is penne with Bolognese sauce. I pack it in a casserole dish along with a baggie of shredded parmesan cheese, a few pieces of crusty bread, and little box of chocolates. Other times I've brought some simple grilled chicken, Caesar salad supplies, and a piece of tiramisu.
Flowers: Flowers can brighten up any space. I never used to think of them as a good gift for any occasion, but during my last miscarriage a friend brought over a bouquet of fresh flowers and it really lifted my spirit. It was a small thought that meant a lot to me.
