After experiencing the loss of our daughter at 28 weeks, I found it helpful to talk about my experience. I appreciated the friends who let me share the birth story, said Riley’s name, and listened to me whenever I wanted to speak about her, the pregnancy, or labor.
I definitely was not up for cooking, so gift cards and meals were appreciated too.
I listened to other loss mom’s stories on podcasts. I could relate, laugh, cry and just be in my feelings.
Oh and this might not appeal to everyone, but a couple days after I gave birth to Riley, my husband and I bought a couple outdoor power tools. We found ourselves enjoying yard work & power washing anything I could spray. It was therapeutic and kept my mind busy, even if I had to stop and cry every so often.

Sending prayers to your sister and your family. The grief will in time get lighter, but everyone’s journey is different.
