What to Write in a Sympathy Card After a Miscarriage
Miscarriage is a grief that many people endure in silence. The loss of a baby -- at any stage -- shatters hopes and plans that the parents had already begun building in their hearts. Both partners feel it, though they may grieve in very different ways.
Writing a card after a miscarriage requires particular care. Keep your message short, sincere, and free from platitudes. Do not try to find a silver lining. Simply let them know that their loss is real, that their baby mattered, and that you are thinking of them.

Writing Tips
Include both partners
Miscarriage grief often focuses on the person who was pregnant, but their partner is grieving too. Address your card to both of them to show you are thinking of the couple as a whole.
Avoid toxic positivity
Phrases like "at least you know you can get pregnant" or "it wasn't meant to be" are deeply hurtful. Stick to acknowledging the loss and offering your presence.
Respect their privacy
Some people are open about miscarriage, while others prefer to grieve privately. Take your cue from what they have shared with you and do not press for details.
