What to say to your friend who has sadness around birthing experience

Written By Genevieve Dreizen

These scripts should serve as a guide for tough, trying, and tremendous life moments.

We’re here to support you in supporting your people. We’re proud of you. And we’ve got you.

Here’s what to say when you don’t know what to say.

Thank you for sharing those feelings with me. Sometimes when things don't go as we expected, it can really throw us for a loop and it can become totally dysregulating. Just know that you did the best you could with the situation, and we are all so proud of you. Would it help to journal some of these feelings out? I'm holding space if you want to release any of the feelings. I want to validate that your feelings are legit and heard. I'm so sorry the experience didn't go as planned. Here for you.

Text these scripts, email them, leave them as a voicemail, or as the basis of a phone call or conversation in person. These scripts can be used over and over and across all platforms. We hope they help. We want to support you so that you can support your people.
