Grief is personal and there is no set timeline or โrightโ way to feel. If youโre hurting, your pain deserves acknowledgment, compassion and support. Pink Elephantsโ campaign invites partners, family and friends to listen, validate and offer practical care โ not platitudes. Small acts of presence can make a big difference.
๐๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐โ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด:
- Allow yourself to feel whatever comes up โ anger, sadness, numbness, relief or confusion.
- Reach out to someone you trust or a support group; talking helps.
- Seek professional help if youโre struggling to cope day-to-day.
- Be gentle with decisions about announcing, memorialising or trying again โ do what feels right for you.

- Say their babyโs name if they use one, listen without minimizing, and avoid โat leastโ phrases.
- Offer concrete help (meals, childcare, errands) rather than vague offers.
- Let them lead conversations about their loss and timing for future pregnancies.
- Check in beyond the first days and weeks โ grief can last much longer than people expect.
We are committed to changing the conversation from โat leastโ to โItโs ok not to be ok.โ No one should have to walk the journey of miscarriage and pregnancy loss alone.
