Cupid’s Advice:
Miscarrying is painful, whether you were the pregnant parent or not. It’s important to lean on your partner during this difficult time. If you’re not sure how to support your partner through the loss of your pregnancy, Cupid has some advice for you.
1. Let them know how you’re feeling: Make sure to let your partner know that you’re grieving with them. To start healing from the loss of the child you never met, you need to let out your emotions. Even if your grief is different than your partner’s, it’s so important to work through this together.

2. Remember it’s no one’s fault: It’s very common for those who lose pregnancies to think they’re “broken” or that they’re to blame for the miscarriage. If your partner was pregnant, make sure they know you love and support them, regardless of their ability to have kids. If you were pregnant, focus on the happiness you already have in your partner and family.

3. Talk about your experience: Once you and your partner feel comfortable, talk to your close friends and family about what you went through. Miscarriages are common and you’ll likely know others who went through the same thing. Knowing you aren’t alone can help you heal.
