When Someone You Love Loses a Baby - How to Actually Help

When someone you love loses a baby, you want to help. But you don't know what to say, what to do or how to show up without making things worse.

This guide will help.

Written by Roisin Nicholson — an accredited counsellor and babyloss therapist with lived experience. This is a practical, honest guide for family, friends and colleagues supporting someone through baby loss.

But this isn't just something to read — it's something to use. Throughout the guide you'll find reflection spaces and prompts designed to help you think about your specific person, plan your next steps and actually follow through. Because reading about what to do is one thing. Doing it is another.

Inside you'll find:

• What your person is actually going through (the reality most people don't understand)
• The different types of baby loss explained — so you can understand parts of what they may have experienced
• What to say and what not to say — with actual scripts you can use
• What to do and what not to do — practical, specific actions that genuinely help
• How to show up at 1 week, 3 months, and a year later (because most people disappear after the first week)
• How to support the partner — because they lost a baby too and almost nobody asks how they're doing
• Reflection prompts to help you think about what your person needs right now
• Space to write your own action plan — so good intentions become real actions
• A place to record the dates that matter — their baby's name, due date, anniversary — so you never forget
• Guided check-ins to help you support the partner, not just the person who carried the pregnancy

21 pages. Instant download. Written with compassion, honesty and zero fluff.

I want this guide to remind you that saying "I don't know what to say" is better than saying nothing. This guide will help you say and do so much more than that.

This guide can also be purchased as a gift for someone who is supporting a loved one through baby loss.
