Sometimes time is the only thing that can make things better, but being there for her (or not physically there, as she needs) will also help. :DDanyelle L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10366276085080565870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196908370614674789.post-18043809502722673882009-04-29T19:01:00.000-04:002009-04-29T19:01:00.000-04:00Thanks, ladies.

I think the problem I'm having is that this friend and I went to high school together, were acquaintances, and didn't really become good friends until reconnecting on Facebook (we're in the same profession, look at things in much the same way, have a similar sense of humor, et cetera). I think maybe that's part of why I feel so helpless ... becoming friends with somebody via the internet, even if you spent four years of public education with them in reality and would certainly know them if you bumped into them at the store or something, makes it harder to know the real life things to do. Maybe I should post about that ... Anyway, you're all giving wonderful advice that is much appreciated : )Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955854427063032485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196908370614674789.post-5550241468753116532009-04-29T18:57:00.000-04:002009-04-29T18:57:00.000-04:00Just be there.

She called me and we sat on the phone and cried together. I just listened and cried.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09534552292410355497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196908370614674789.post-45957371842372184842009-04-29T18:03:00.000-04:002009-04-29T18:03:00.000-04:00Most don’t really know what to do or say to a grie...Most don’t really know what to do or say to a grieving mother. It’s like you said in your post: nothing you say or do will take the pain away. <br /><br />With a miscarriage there is only the sadness and empty arms with still the roller coaster of emotion to ride through. As long as she has family and friends like you who are there for her and are able to talk to her about her baby (when she wants to talk about it of course) she’ll hopefully get better.Dutch Sugar Babehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903299581166663151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196908370614674789.post-19549289593291004852009-04-29T17:02:00.000-04:002009-04-29T17:02:00.000-04:00Best thing I've found is just to sit with your fri...Best thing I've found is just to sit with your friend...be there, and listen, if the friend wants to talk...<br /><br />You are a good friend to carry the heartaches of others so close...your friends are fortunate. I'm so sorry to hear of your friend's loss. You'll both be in my thoughts. ~Janine XOSniffles and Smileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10073156486641622612noreply@blogger.com
