“A life need not be long-lived for it to be

meaningful.” Plus more words of
wisdom and support for those going
through a pregnancy loss.

Experiencing a pregnancy loss is devastating. If

you're coping with a miscarriage, stillbirth, medical
loss or losing a child after birth, you are probably
in need of comfort and reassurance that you're
not alone.

While no healing journey is the same, it may help

to hear phrases of wisdom, guidance and support
from others who know what you’re going through,
and who have experienced the same type of grief
themselves.

Here are some quotes about grief and loss that

may help bring you some comfort.
