I know you meant well when you told me to “get over” losing my only child to stillbirth. Upon reflection, I realize what you probably meant to say is that you don’t want to see me suffer the pain of this loss or to live the rest of my life experiencing that pain.
Maybe what you actually meant to say was, “I love you, and I’m sorry this happened to you. I know that it broke your heart into a million pieces, and I want to know how to help you feel whole again.”
I wish you could have said that instead of “you need to get over your daughter and move on.”
