“It takes a village to raise a child”.. If this is right, it certainly has to take a village to comfort a mother who Miscarried, a mother who had a Stillbirth and a mother who is in and through Postpartum.

Motherhood doesn’t fade away from her, just because she miscarried. Remember! She’d terribly miss the life she once carried, she’d miss the moment to see her bundle of joy evolve to its fullness, she’d miss to see the two lines manifest in physicality. She may have missed to mother a cute little baby, but she mothers a ‘Beautiful & Perfect’ Angel.

Motherhood can never be snatched from a grieving mother, just because she delivered a stillborn, Remember! Her love might be Stillborn but is still Born, still loved, still missed, still remembered and is still ‘Beautiful & Perfect’ in the hearts of a loving mother.

Motherhood can never be incapacitated, just because many don’t understand what a mother goes through in her Postpartum. Remember! She just woke up searching for her old self in silence, feeling hopeless of finding herself and utterly exhausted because she was told very less of who she would become in the physical, besides the ‘Beautiful & Perfect’ experience of birthing life to this world.

In all these, it is simply ones act of empathy, love, kindness and encouragement that is most needed to ease the pain of such ‘Beautiful & Perfect’ People.

All they seek is room for authentic connection rather than one’s own feelings, beliefs and thoughts being forced on them.

A heart to understand and feel the grief of not being in a position to see the beautiful rainbow that she was expecting, is really the biggest & warmest support one can extend to unload the heaviness that she carries.

She doesn’t expect anyone to say a perfect thing that would ease her pain, but simply say her something that recognizes her pain and hardship that floored her.

You will never know that, this very simple act of you will be the best deed to make her feel shouldered & supported to lead a Journey towards Healing.
