Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, and as a grieving mom, I’d love to share the most meaningful gifts for grieving moms based on the book ‘The 5 Love Languages’. I published a blog on Orlando Mom Collective answering the main question I hear time and time again: What to do when a friend loses a baby, in which I answer, “Find out her love language and love her well.”

Love Her Well

We all tend to feel loved in five different ways: through Words of Affirmation, Receiving Gifts, Physical Touch, Quality Time, and Acts of Service, and I’ve sourced some of my most favorite gifts for grieving moms based on each love language.

How I Feel Loved in my Grief

My love language is a tie between Acts of Service and Words of Affirmation. I must admit that I have been blessed by my community over the last five years in the ways they have loved me. From friends showing up at my door with chocolate cake to others washing my dishes or bringing my family a meal, their acts have shown me that I matter, my grief matters, and my loss matters.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss is a difficult journey that each mom will live with forever, and we all grieve differently. The best thing we can do for a friend after they lose a baby is simply there.
