When someone you love loses a baby, your instinct is to help—but what if the things you're doing to comfort them are actually making things harder?

In this episode, I walk you through the 3 most common mistakes people make when trying to support a grieving mom after stillbirth or pregnancy loss—and what to do instead.

I share real stories from my own loss and from moms I’ve supported, including what it really feels like when someone says "Let me know if you need anything," or calls you "so strong" when you’re barely holding it together.

Whether you're the grieving mom who wants others to understand, or you're someone who wants to support her but feels totally unsure how—this episode is your guide.

You’ll learn:

• The 3 phrases that do more harm than good (and what to say instead)
• Why "just showing up" means more than saying the perfect thing
• How to take helpful action without overwhelming her
• What she hears when you say "You're so strong"
• How to support her partner (they're grieving too!)
• The single most powerful way to show you care
