Working in a NICU, I do my fair share of grief and loss tending. It is so important to remember the littlest souls are truly members of the family: very much loved and very much missed.
Don't be a part of the taboo or add to the stigma. It is ok to talk about the deceased and to ask how the family is doing. They want to know that you care and are sticking by them through their (and your) shared time of sadness.
Today, my heart goes out to all of you who have suffered infertility, miscarriage, infant loss, still birth, death of a small child: sibling, friend, child, grandchild. That soul was loved and is truly missed.
