Lily Allen suffers miscarriage
Filed under: Development/Milestones: Babies, Celeb Parents, In The News, That's Entertainment
Singer Lily Allen who just a month ago joyously announced her pregnancy has reportedly suffered a miscarriage. According to statistics, one out of five pregnancies ends in miscarriage, sometimes so early on that the woman didn't even realize she was pregnant. Even though most women have had at least one miscarriage, that knowledge is of little comfort when it happens to you.
There are certain things one should NOT say to a woman who has just lost a baby:
-
You can always have another!
-
But the baby is an angel now!
-
It's probably for the best.
-
At least you didn't really know the baby yet.
-
There must have been something wrong.
-
Do you think it was because of something you did?
-
(If they already have kids) At least you already have children!
Good things to say to someone who has miscarried:
-
I'm here for you.
-
What can I do to help?
-
I'm so sorry.

SKL said...This is another reason why we should stop trying to "catch" celebrity women at being pregnant. Sad that this type of devastating and private loss has to be dealt with in front of the public.

I HATED hearing that! That was definitely the worst thing to hear after just suffering a miscarriage. Yes you already have children but that doesn't make it any easier. You still lost a baby

Steph said...I would add to the list of things not to say:
well, the lord knows best
or any similar religious statement
While I do believe things happen for a reason that made me feel as though the person was telling me I should not feel sad because God was in control. There's no reason for you to feel sad, God has a plan!
It was horrible and I really resented people telling me how I should feel. (However well intentioned they were)
