I just had a miscarriage Tuesday and I'm really not up to talking to anyone yet. My friends are persistently calling wondering why I don't call back or answer the phone. I would like to talk to my best friend, about it because I know she's been through it. Does anyone know how long it will be when I feel like talking about it? They don't even know it happened. What do I tell them when I'm ready to talk?

Let me rephrase that last sentence.
What do I tell them until I'm ready to talk?

Sorry for your loss. My ex and I went through this same problem. The key is to remember that everyone cares even if they can't understand exactly how you feel. Thank them for their concern but tell them politely you need some time to process the situation for yourself. I will warn you that you are going to go through a whole wide range of emotions and thoughts and feelings. You are going to consider things in life that have hardly ever crossed your mind before. Through it all realize that you are still you, just a small part of you is missing, and the people around you are still the same, they just don't see the missing part.

It takes a different amount of time for every person. Tell your friends you're just not quite ready to talk about it yet. They'll understand, and real friends will just be there for you, patiently waiting for when you are ready.
