Weekend Heartbreak; - Signature Warning -

in Late Term and Child Loss

~~ Signature Warning ~~ 

Hi Everyone!

Over the weekend a good friend of mine had a miscarriage. It was a surprise baby (her youngest if 6) but she had finally accepted it and was getting excited, she and her DH finally told their other three children. I don't know really what to say to her, I want to be comforting but not overbearing. I've never had, or known someone who has gone through this, and was hoping someone could shed some light on how I can comfort not only her, but her other children. (Our kids go to the same daycare) I ran into her today, and let her start the conversation, but I didn't want to say the wrong thing so I was quiet mostly.

Please help me be a better friend, I feel like I really stunk today! :/

    I'm sorry to hear about your friend's loss.  At the top of the board by the board description, there are 2 sticky posts that might help.  Just being there for her is huge.

    I agree with what Carolee said.  I just wanted to ask if you could please put a siggy warning in your post title, rather than just at the top there?  Many ladies here just suffered a late loss and probably just don't want to open this post.  Thanks!

    I'm SO sorry I didn't even think about!! Thank you for pointing that out for me, thank you and Carolee for the advice. I worked up the courage to just sit and listen later yesterday evening, and I hope that just being present helps her. I also had good luck in the M/C / PL board. Thank you both again.
