Your Grief
The early days are unimaginable. Emotions may fluctuate for years. Seek support from fellow parents or professionals to help navigate your grief.
Your Relationships
Loss can affect relationships with family and friends. Lean on those who understand and be patient with those unsure how to help.
Your Other Children
If you have surviving children, support their grief as well. Open communication and age-appropriate guidance are vital.
Loss of an Only Child or All Children
Parents who lost their only child or all children face profound challenges. Support groups and counseling can help mitigate isolation.
Self-Compassion
Care for yourself with rest, proper meals, and reflection. Allow yourself to feel, cry, and heal at your own pace.
Seek Support
Professional guidance, support groups, and peer communities provide comfort, validation, and connection.
Grief transforms who you are, but through patience, support, and self-compassion, you can continue to honor your child while finding ways to live fully again.
