When a woman happens to suffer a miscarriage, it is usually painful to them in that they get affected both physically and emotionally.
In the process of them trying to heal, they typically need positive people around them to offer them support. As a friend, there are things that you should never say as your remarks might make the situation worse.
Here are some of those things that you should avoid telling a woman who’s had a miscarriage.
1. “Women have miscarriages all the time".
Even though this statement is true, saying this to a woman who has had a miscarriage will make her feel worse. The reason why she is likely to feel hurt is that she’ll end up thinking that she is being punished just like other women.
2. “I completely understand how you feel".
First and foremost, if you’ve never had a miscarriage, you’ll be lying when you say that you understand how the affected victim feels. More so, telling someone that you know how they feel doesn’t help as people are different when it comes to feelings and emotions.
3. “It probably happened for a reason".
Yes, things happen for a reason, but you should not say this to a woman who just had a miscarriage. Saying this to a woman who is hurting and mourning her child will only make her have a negative perception of the things that happen in her life.
