It can sometimes be hard to find the right words to say to someone who recently had a miscarriage or pregnancy loss, according to Sarah Stankorb of GOOD magazine.
Thanks to Jessica Zucker, a therapist who often works with womens reproductive health, confronting the issue may have just gotten a little easier.
Zucker, who experienced a miscarriage during her 16th week of pregnancy, felt that sympathy cards she received with phrases like your angel was too good for this world, everything happens for a reason and at least you know you can get pregnant" werent good enough, GOOD magazine reported.
When grandparents die, we typically know what to do we send flowers, we send cards, we bring food, and thats that, she said, according to Time magazine. And this is so different. People really struggle when it comes to fertility, so much can go wrong.
She created empathy cards of her own, as an extension of a hashtag #IHadAMiscarriage, which she started in 2014, according to Time.
The cards, some of which are in the slide show below, are available on Zuckers website for $4.50 a piece and can be found in boutique stores in Los Angeles, TIME reported.
My aim here is a cultural one and a political one, Zucker told TIME. And I think that the more we open up about our experiences and dispel the shame, the closer people can feel to one another.
