Listening with empathy is pivotal in supporting those grieving a miscarriage, moving beyond well-meant but harmful platitudes.

Miscarriage is common, affecting 1 in 4 women. Sharing can reduce shame, fostering a supportive conversation environment.

Effective support for miscarriage involves empathy, not platitudes. Offering a space to talk or simply acknowledging the loss helps.
