How do I help my friend who had a miscarriage?

My best friend in the whole world had a miscarrige about 2 weeks ago, and she says she’s fine, but is it to early for her to be acting happy and everything?

Answer #1

who knows. it may be to unreal for her right now. maybe it’s too hard for her to think about it. most likely, she will probably come to terms with it a little ways down the road when she realizes that she won’t need that crib, she won’t have to buy those maternity jeans, etc.

but you know what? maybe she really is ok with it. maybe she understands that the miscarriage isn’t her fault (assuming she doesn’t drink or do drugs or anything of that nature). myabe she’s now looing forward to the future.

just make sure she knows that you are there for her if she needs ANYTHING. tell her that whatever she’s feeling is ok. hang out with her and have girl’s only time. let her confide in you.

Answer #2

she is happy that her baby went to HEAVEN which is better than this violent old world!

Answer #3

I would buy her a card telling her what a great friend she is…not exactly a sympathy card but an I care for you card. In the card, I would tell her what she means to you and if she ever needs anything you are there. I would get her a small present also. I did this for my friend when I found out she had a miscarriage and think it just let her know I am there for her anytime. And that is something she needs to hear :)

Answer #4

Sometimes people are okay afterwards — especially when (or because) they realize that miscarriages are the body’s way of telling you that the baby would not have been healthy. You can (and maybe your friend has) move on and start to think about having babies in the future, possibly near future. I had 4 miscarriages in a row, and although very teary afterwards, I really was “ok” once I accepted it was meant to be. FYI - I have 2 beautiful, healthy boys now. Good luck to your friend!
