Siblings, the forgotten mourners

Published by memorialgarden at 10:22 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

Siblings of a child lost to miscarriage require and deserve to have their grief validated and supported.  Focus is usually laid on the mother and father, whilst the other children are minimized.  It is important to remember that these children often wonder why the loss occurred, and if they somehow caused it to happen.  The children also see their parents hurting and have no idea what to make of it.  As a parent you are the guide for children through a difficult time.  Children need to know that they are loved just as much and that it is okay to grieve.
