loss:

What if I don’t know what to say?
Sometimes our own fear that we won’t say or do the right thing gets in our way of
providing the best service.
We say or do nothing at all, or say too much…

What if I don’t know what to say?
“I’m so sorry for your loss” or
“I’m so sorry you are going through this”
Is a great place to start…and is much better than saying nothing at all

What if I don’t know what to say?
“How are you doing?”
“I don’t know what to say?”
are ok too! Fewer words ,coming from the heart, may mean more than
lots of words spoken with less meaning

Some things to remember…
Individuals grieve in different ways (don’t judge)
There is no right or wrong way to grieve There is no right timetable for grieving Individuals react to similar situations in very different ways Be genuine
![Page 8: Participant Centered Care For WIC Carol Bass, IBCLC, RLC.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103102/56649f0c5503460f94c1f467/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Use Participant Centered Counseling Skills…. open ended questions: How, What, Can
Use reflective listening….Allow for some silence
Allow them to share as much or as little as they want about the situation

Some Don’ts..Give specific advice, particularly medical or legal (inadequate care, things they could have done to prevent)
Don’t ask one question after another
Don’t give false reassurances
Don’t try to find something positive about the loss
Don’t dominate the conversation
![Page 12: Participant Centered Care For WIC Carol Bass, IBCLC, RLC.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103102/56649f0c5503460f94c1f467/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Some Don’ts..Avoid trying to fix things or give direction on what he/she should do
Avoid “Why questions”
Avoid clichés such as… “I know how you feel” “You are still young, you can have more children” “At least you have other children” “It was God’s will, She needed another angel in heaven”
