What to Say

There are a number of things that you can say to put a woman who has miscarried on edge. Things such as "You will get over it", "You are young, just try again", "It wasn't really a baby". These are all things that deeply hurt a woman who has miscarried. First of all this is a very real experience for the woman, it was a baby.
Things that you could say are: "I am sorry for your loss", "You are in my prayers". If you think about it you would not tell someone who just lost a husband, or parent, "You will get over it", You do your best to console the person and make thier loss easier. A woman who miscarried should be treated no differently.
