[quote=Anonymous]I would echo the advice to just be there & listen - and maybe just say 'that sucks' or hugs or go to escapist movies. People respond to situations very differently - I had an end of pregnancy stillbirth & realized that most people are uncomfortable & don't know what to say & try to feel like they can say something to make you happy or feel better or 'optimistic' - but generally have good intentions even if they say things that made me feel a lot worse (like 'just keep trying' or 'things work out for the best' or someone else's 'success' story' and all sorts of random things. I pretty much pulled away from most people & couldn't really take it & honestly, I could not ever have my own kids. No one has a clue what the future really holds for your friend. Loss is loss. I'd just make it clear you are there (and love her no matter what) [/quote]
