Silence can feel like a secondary loss
Reminder: if you ignore the uncomfortable, then you’re contributing to the pain.
The question is how to be supportive, but not pushy, judgey or insensitive.
Do you want people to acknowledge that you’re going through something? Even if it’s just a “I’m thinking of you?” Or do you prefer that people just pretend nothing is going on?

Baby Loss Reminders
A Brief Reminder on What To Say vs. What Not To Say To Someone After Pregnancy Loss ❤️
Remember, those struggling with grief after pregnancy loss are not looking for silver linings after loss, they just want to feel validated & supported. No matter how far along, how young they may be, how long they’ve been trying, how many losses they’ve had, how many children they have, or how easily pregnancy came to them, their loss matters and their grief is valid ❤️

Missing Shabbat Candles
I’m lighting the Shabbat candles this week and every week at sundown with a tear in my eye and a prayer on my lips for God to safeguard us.
Lighting a Candle
I know I preach about #youdoyou a lot, but it’s because I truly believe it and it’s the way I try to lead my own life. Do what feels right for you, not because others are doing it.
