40 Angel Baby Quotes, For When You Don't Have The Words

There are no words that truly express how it feels to lose a child. It often feels like no one can really understand your pain and sadness. If you have an angel baby, though, you might find that you sometimes do want to try to let other people in on your feelings, maybe through a social media post. While it’s obviously totally fine to use your own words in a caption, sometimes it’s easier to use angel baby quotes to try and describe what you’re going through. You might find that a quote out there really captures what you’re trying to say in a way that makes you feel a little less alone.

Angel baby quotes aren’t only good for social media captions, though. These can also be something you use in a card you’re writing to someone who has just lost their baby. A handwritten card is a beautiful way to show that you’re there for someone and that you’re trying to be as understanding as possible. If you’re not sure what to say, including a meaningful quote about angel babies can be helpful.

Whatever you want to use them for, the below angel baby quotes are a reminder that you are not alone.
