perhaps a touchy subject... miscarriages
Re: perhaps a touchy subject... miscarriages
People say insensitive things all the time with good intentions. it's not exclusive to miscarriages. There's nothing to do other than say "thank you" and grieve.
That is an interesting perspective on comparing different scenarios where grieving is involved. Most people wouldn't be insensitive enough to say the bolded parts above but yet we hear of lots of people end up saying really insensitive things after a m/c. I have no idea why that is - just an observation.
It's so hard because it seems that grieving mothers expect/want so many different things after a m/c based on just the answers given in this post. How are we to know? I wish there was a better way to figure out exactly what would make each individual feel better. :-(
