“It wasn’t meant to be”

Comforting someone by telling someone that “it wasn’t meant to be” might be a suitable response to a missed job opportunity or a budding relationship that has failed to launch. However, it is completely inappropriate to say this to someone who has lost a baby or any other loved one for that matter. Though you may feel that you are uttering comforting words, what the grieving person is hearing is that their baby’s life doesn’t matter.
