Medical Video: Understanding Early Pregnancy Loss
For couples who have been waiting for a baby, a miscarriage can be a trauma in itself. Many people blame themselves for the departure of the baby. These feelings are naturally experienced by people who are grieving. However, support and entertainment from friends or relatives is important for them to get through this life's trials. Now, what can you do to support relatives after a miscarriage?
Things you can do to support relatives or friends after a miscarriage
1. Pay attention to your words
Sometimes, not all the words they hear can be well received. For example, avoid words like "Yes, not nothing, just sincere. Maybe this is the way, later also given a new one. "
These words can be heard "hinged" in the heart, even though the intention might be good. Because the fetus or child is not an object that can be replaced. This can also make couples who lose their babies become more sad, because they feel they fail to raise a baby correctly.
Better, you say positive things like, "I'm sorry, if you want to tell stories and need friends, you can contact me, huh. I'm ready to accompany you. "That way, at least they know that there are still people who love and try to understand the sadness they experience.
2. Attend funeral rites
To entertain friends or relatives after a miscarriage, it's a good idea to follow the habits of someone who has passed away to God. Funerals, prayers, anniversaries are one of the things you can attend to support the part of the couple who have just lost their baby.
3. Don't try to blame the couple
Whether we realize it or not, people around tend to be "hobbies" to find fault with others, including when facing a partner after a miscarriage. This is what you should avoid as much as possible.
Avoid blaming the couple with the words, "You really are, not keep your wife well, so not so (baby) right, bro "or" you, not take this vitamin / supplement / herbal, I told you it's good to nourish the fetus. "These comments are very inappropriate to say to couples who have just lost their baby.
Remember, there are so many factors that can be the cause of a miscarriage. You as an outsider don't know exactly what caused the tragedy, so keep those comments to heart. It's better to try to empathize and pray for them for the best.
4. Let them express their emotions
Crying, anger, disappointment, and sadness are emotions that are commonly felt when someone feels loss. You shouldn't tell them to finish and stop their sadness.
It's good, you take the time to hear all their complaints. Because basically, people who are grieving just want to be heard about what they feel. If the atmosphere of grief has subsided, then you can invite them to move on again through the days.
Your support and presence at this time is important
The most important thing you can do when your friend or someone you love is one of them is to be their friend. They will feel better when they know that you are there at times sad.
It should be noted also to maintain your health while supporting and accompanying a new partner who has lost her pregnancy. Supporting others who are going through grief may be physically tiring and emotionally draining.
