To My Friend Mourning After a Miscarriage

Dear cherished friend,

I find myself at a bustling café, surrounded by the chaos of bouncing children and clattering dishes, when your message arrives. You’ve experienced another miscarriage—your second in a brief span of months—and suddenly, the noise fades away. I’m enveloped by a wave of emotions that echo my own heartbreak from years past. My heart aches for you, and I wish there were words to ease your pain.

I won’t offer clichés like “everything happens for a reason” or share stories of others who have endured similar losses. It wouldn’t be right to compare your grief to someone else’s journey, nor will I ask about how far along you were. That number doesn’t define the significance of your loss or provide any comfort.

I understand that you have children, and while they may provide some solace during this painful time, I won’t use that as a measure of your feelings. I recognize that in moments of sorrow, all those well-meaning phrases can sometimes feel hollow. I might slip and say something that seems comforting, but know that it comes from a genuine place of care. I wouldn’t hold it against you if you felt the same during my times of need.

What I truly want to convey, my dear friend, is this: I love you, and this is profoundly unfair. Your feelings, whatever they may be—anger, sadness, or confusion—are completely valid. If you find it overwhelming to navigate these emotions on your own, please remember that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. I’m here for you; I will stand by your side if you need support.

Whether you choose to face this heart-wrenching experience with just your inner circle or seek additional assistance, know that my love for you will grow stronger as you endure this battle. The toll of a miscarriage is a burden no one should bear, and I wish it upon no one—not even those I dislike.

I acknowledge your pain, but I also want you to be aware of the love surrounding you. Embrace that love and allow it to guide you through this healing process. Even years later, the wounds can resurface unexpectedly, and that’s okay. We will heal together, my friend, and remember that I am always here for you.
