Miscarriage and infant loss are heart-wrenching subjects that are often met with silence in our society. Listen in to this episode to hear:

• what NOT to say
• practical ideas for support that are meaningful and useful
• what it means to hold space
• what kind of support people actually want to receive

Join me, April Boyd, as we navigate the challenging terrain of grief and loss, not just as a therapist but as a mother who has walked this path herself. You'll learn to avoid ineffective and unhelplful phrases, like "let me know what I can do" into acts of genuine support that truly matter to those grieving.

This episode stands as a guide for anyone struggling to find the right words or actions when a loved one is suffering the unimaginable pain of losing a child. With a focus on understanding the depth of this grief, I share insights and strategies to help you offer support that validates and comforts. Discover why mentioning the loss isn't just okay—it's essential, as it serves as a profound reminder that the person they lost is remembered and cherished. Through heartfelt conversations and practical advice, we aim to challenge cultural norms and empower you to be a steadfast presence for those navigating through their darkest days.
