Thoughtful Gift Ideas For A Friend Going Through A Miscarriage

When you’re going through a difficult time, one of the last things you want to tack onto your to-do list is cooking dinner. That’s why Freshly, a weekly subscription service that delivers fresh (not frozen) chef-cooked meals can be the perfect gift for someone going through a miscarriage. Unlike meal kits, all you need is a microwave to heat up a meal in as little as 3 minutes. You can purchase gift cards or buy a 4, 6 10 or 12 meal-per-week subscription. 

It’s hard to have the right words during this difficult time, but you can show your loved one that you are there for her with this thoughtful necklace and packaging that shares a touching message about loss. You can choose between rose gold or silver plated brass and have it sent directly to your friend’s front door. 

Joan Didion’s 2007 book of essays is her most personal yet — she dives into the death of her husband, author John Gregory Dunne, while taking care of her sick adult daughter, Quintana Roo. In 2012, Didion published Blue Nights, which devastatingly grapples the death of Quintana. Your friend may not want to read stories about death and tragedy — but if they do want to read about other people’s lived experiences when it comes to loss and heartbreak, Didion is truly one of the greatest authors who captures this kind of body-shattering experience that is poetic and deeply understanding.

Sometimes, one of the best healing tools is to hear from others who have been in your shoes. That’s what this book provides. It’s full of essays, entries, poems and short stories of 50 different men and women who have coped with a miscarriage firsthand and are brave enough to come forward with their experience. 

This hand-painted figure is shaped like an angel with its hands crossed. Just above the crossed hands is a gold-leaf heart designed to symbolize something loved lost. Each piece is hand-carved by artist Susan Lordi straight from her studio in Kansas City and comes ready to be displayed on a shelf, mantle, fireplace or a table. 

This simple, yet sweet, necklace features an incredibly thoughtful message that will warm the heart of your loved one going through a miscarriage. It’s hypoallergenic, thanks to the fact that it’s made of stainless steel, so it’s not likely to cause any allergic reactions. It’s also an adjustable length—it can go from 14.5 to 18 inches. 

Nothing says comfort like a cozy blanket, and Barefoot Dreams makes the softest blankets you’ve ever felt—seriously. That’s why they’re a favorite among celebs, including the entire Kardashian/Jenner fam and Chrissy Teigen. It’s made out of 100 percent polyester and has a cozy knit that was made for snuggling. 

This all-natural and organic brand of baby and personal care products has created an entire line dedicated to coping with the loss of a baby. It includes healing mist, forget-me-not seeds and an aromatherapy candle.

This gift box is simple, but provides the right amount of support for someone going through a hard time. It comes with a live succulent, 2-ounce scented candle, colorful matches in a glass jar and a beautiful greeting card that includes a personalized message written by you.
