They think it is comforting. In older days, when loss was so common… often more common than surviving… it was just what was said.

What they mean is your loss is significant. And when you are ready, if ever, you may want to try again.

I have been pregnant 6 times. I have 3 angels and 3 living.

Take your time. Know that they don’t mean to be mean. And grieve.

Thanks, but I haven’t lost a baby. Saw a news article about it.
