[quote=Anonymous]As others have suggested, listen to her, validate what she’s feeling. “See” her. “I’m sorry it was such a difficult delivery.” “I can hear how disappointed you are in your voice. It totally makes sense that you would feel that way.” “You’re so happy that the baby is here and also sad about the way the delivery unfolded. Both of those feelings can exist at the same time.” “You’re grieving the loss of how you thought it would happen. Grief is hard. The best thing is to move through it, not around it. It seems like you’re working through it. Just taking with me about it is part of that process.” “What might I do to help you right now?”[/quote]
