Grief can change everything.
For families who have experienced the loss of a baby or loved one, there is no "right" way to grieve and no timeline for healing.
If someone you love is grieving:
💟 Be present. You don't have to fix their pain.
💟 Listen without judgement. Let them talk, cry or simply sit in silence.
💟 Acknowledge their loss. Saying their baby's name or remembering their loved one can mean so much.
💟 Offer specific support. Help with meals, errands, childcare or everyday responsibilities.
💟 Keep checking in. Support is important long after the funeral or initial loss.
💟 Give them space to grieve in their own way. Everyone's experience is different.
Most importantly, don't be afraid to say something because you're worried it won't be perfect. A simple "I'm here for you" can remind someone they don't have to carry their grief alone.
At Camden Healthy Start, we recognize that supporting healthy families also means supporting families through loss.
Sometimes, the greatest gift we can give a grieving family is simply to stay.
