"The mention of my child's name may bring tears to my eyes,
but it never fails to bring music to my ears.
If you are really my friend,
let me hear the beautiful music of their name.
It soothes my broken heart and sings to my soul."

The 10 Best Things to Say to Someone in Grief

In the past we thought that when a child or baby dies the parents recovered quickly or even forgot about
their child. We now know that parents may have sadness and depression for a long time. They may have
sudden outbursts of anger, be afraid of going crazy, or have deep feelings of guilt and fear.

By understanding that your loved one will have spurts of emotions for a long time may help you accept their
feelings and relate to them better.

Encourage your loved one to share. They are still parents. Not only did their baby die, they lost their dreams,
hopes and plans. Remember, they have special memories of who this special little person would be.
