Talking about miscarriage on the Today Show

This could not have been said any better! If you have not been through a loss of a baby (pregnancy, stillbirth, or infant loss), you need to watch this to understand what we are going through.


"A women isn't pregnant with a fetus, she's pregnant with a baby"

"Survival"

"Don't rush to point out the silver lining, because they need to have a time to acknowledged the cloud"

"Don't say things like, oh it's nature's way, you can probably have another one, or isn't great that you already have one child! ALL THOSE THINGS ARE TRUE! BUT it doesn't detract in any way from the absolute grief that you feel"

"And You need to feel like this baby was acknowledged"

"and they will forever be parent of that little boy"
