Re: Miscarriage

It really sooo varies with the person and the loss .. some people prefer to be more private and handle things alone.. some may appreciate a small token like flowers.. I know for ME when I had my 17wk loss, I had a friend who planted a tree in my baby's honor. I thought it was very sweet and it was done through atreeinstead.com.

For my other losses after that (mostly 7-8wks), people just said they were sorry it happened.

I would just be there for her. Tell her you are really sorry and that you are there if she needs to talk/yell/cry or even wants to get out of the house to take her mind off of it. Follow her lead some ,at not want to talk about it others will. I am sorry for your friends loss.

I gave my friend a card. She's not the mushy touchy-feely type so I think anything beyond that would've been uncomfortable for her. Especially because she learned of her pregnancy the same week she actually lost the baby and she wasn't exactly trying to get pregnant in the first place. So it was a whirlwind for her.

I had a loss at 6 wks. No one knew but if I had told ppl about it, I would of wanted my friends just to call and check in on me. Maybe plan a ladies night once the process was over and I was up to going out. My friend had a very early MC a few months ago. She needed me to talk to her on the phone for a few days in a row just to work through all the emotions she was experiencing.
