Yes! Say their name, especially in the months and years after the loss. There will be a lot of condolences and attention in the days following the loss, but it will slow down and be quiet in a month, two months, three months from now. Continue to check in. Put the loss date on your calendar and check in with them in the month of the loss, and the week of the loss and the day of the loss.

Hello everyone! I’m Jessica and am raising my 5 month old baby boy. I also had a baby girl who passed away in 2021 at 4 months old due to kidney failure after her congenital defects went undetected until birth. During my pregnancy with my living child I read Cribsheet and enjoyed the synthesis provided, and have been enjoying ParentData too. Thank you for continuing to provide data-driven information that help me make decisions.
