What Do You Say? (poem written for The Child Bereavement Trust)

What Do You Say?
(written by Kathy Mayo for The Child Bereavement Trust)

What do you say when a baby dies and someone says..."At least you didn't bring it home..."

What do you say when a baby is stillborn and someone says..."At least it never lived."

What do you say when a mother of three says..."Think of all the time you'll have."

What do you say when so many say...
"You can always have another..."
"At least you never knew it..."
"You have your whole life ahead of you..."
"You have an angel in heaven..."

What do you say when someone says...nothing?

What do you say when someone says..."I'm sorry."
You say, with grateful tears and a warm embrace, "Thank You!"
