To My Friend Who’s Navigating Heartbreak After a Miscarriage
Oh, dear friend. I find myself in a bustling restaurant, juggling the chaos of spilled crayons and rowdy kids, when your message arrives. You’ve faced another loss — your second miscarriage in just a few months. Suddenly, everything around me fades away, and I’m flooded with emotions that take me back to my own heartache years ago. My heart aches for you, truly.
I won’t offer empty platitudes like “I’m so sorry” or “Everything happens for a reason.” I won’t share stories of friends who’ve gone through multiple losses and eventually had their rainbow babies. I also won’t pry into how far along you were; that’s a number that can’t possibly define your pain or lessen it in any way.
And as much as I want to promise not to mention your other kids — who I know are your shining light during this dark time — I can’t guarantee I won’t stumble over my words. I’m human, and sometimes the things we say come from a place of love, even if they fall flat. But I know you won’t hold it against me; you understand what it’s like to walk this difficult path.
What I truly want to express, my dear friend, is this: I love you, and this situation is unfair. And again, I love you. Your feelings are valid, no matter what they are. Remember that it’s perfectly okay to seek help if the weight becomes too much to bear alone. I’ll be right by your side if you need me.
Regardless of how you choose to navigate this painful journey — whether you lean on your inner circle or seek professional support — know that I will admire your strength even more. The emotional and physical toll of miscarriage is something no one should have to endure.
I see your pain, and I want to remind you that you are surrounded by love. Let that love in, and together, we can begin the healing process. Even years later, the scars can reopen, and it’s essential to treat them with care. So let’s heal together, my friend. Remember, I love you.
