Affirmations for every loss parent:
You are already a mom, a dad.
You are absolutely where you should be right now. It’s ok to be [hurt/broken/needing time/etc].
They way you love your child is so powerful.
You did everything you could for your baby.
Your baby [insert name if they have one] is not forgotten.
You are seen and loved (or do this through a gesture - a hug or hand on their shoulder, implying you are grieving with them)
Your grieving matters, you are safe with me. You don’t need to hide it or speed it up.

7. “Your grieving matters”“I so often felt like grieving was an endless process. It was so tiring. I thought it would be tiring for everyone around me, so it made me want to hide. All hiding did was make me numb to life: the pains, the joys, and everything in between. I eventually came to learn that I could live a fuller and more meaningful life by recognizing, and giving myself permission to feel all the feelings.” - one of our incredible Moms
