Too many women going through pregnancy loss are told things that are meant to help but quietly make everything harder
I have been there three times and I have heard most of what is in this carousel with my own ears
people are not trying to be cruel, they just do not know what to say, and in the absence of knowing what to say they reach for the nearest thing that sounds reassuring
but reassurance is not what you need when you are grieving, you just need someone to sit with you in it without trying to fix it or minimise it or remind you it could be worse
your loss is valid, every single time, regardless of how early, regardless of what the test said, regardless of what anyone told you about it not counting yet
tell me in the comments what you have been told
