You are here for someone you love.
Miscarriage, Stillbirth, Infant Loss & Infertility
You just got the news — your sister, your friend, your coworker, your daughter — she’s lost her baby or opened up about their journey to parenthood being a hard, bumpy one. The words don’t come. Your heart breaks for her, and you wish you could take the pain away.
You’re not alone in feeling unsure of what to say or how to help. The truth is, there is no perfect fix — but your presence, your compassion, and your willingness to walk with her through the valley matter more than you know.
At Something to Hold, we want to equip you with tools to support your loved one with gentleness, empathy, and grace — whether the loss was yesterday or years ago, whether she’s navigating infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss.

& a few simple tips!
Show up.
Grief can be incredibly lonely. A simple text, a card in the mail, or a warm meal delivered to her doorstep reminds her she’s not alone.
Listen more than you speak.
You don’t need the right words — you just need to be there. Hold space for her to talk, cry, or sit in silence.
Acknowledge her baby.
Say their name if you know it. Mark important dates. Her baby is deeply loved and never forgotten.
Avoid platitudes — say:
“I’m so sorry. I don’t have the words, but I’m here.”
“I’m thinking of you and your baby today.”
“You don’t have to go through this alone.”
Keep Showing Up
Grief doesn’t follow a timeline. Your continued presence in the weeks, months, and even years to come is a profound gift.
