What to say to your friend who is postpartum and having a tough time with family members
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.
Oh friend, you're holding so much right now. I just wanted you to know that I see you and I hear you, and I know you are doing your very best. Please remember that everyone has their own baggage and agenda, and I am giving you permission to completely ignore people who may make you feel crappy. How can I best support you right now? Please know you are not alone and I'm right here if you need anything. I'm validating that this is a rough time, and it won't always be, but if it feels heavy right now, it's because it is. You are a wonderful human and a fantastic parent and I'm so proud of 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.
