An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.
Proverbs 12:25 (NIV)

When you are going through the challenges of infertility and pregnancy eludes you month by month, or when you are blessed with the joyous news of a coming child, only to have that baby slip too quickly from this life to the next, you turn to family and friends in hopes of support and comfort. Usually those people want to help, but simply don't know how. Often they hurt you in the process either by saying the wrong things, or by saying nothing at all and expecting you to "get on with life" as if your heart weren't broken. This page is intended to be a resource that you can give to your family members and friends who long to reach out to you, but never having walked through your valley of this kind of grief before, don't know the way.

Simply being aware of your friend's pain and recognizing their grief is an important step!
