I'm sure this has been asked before but. My best friend miscarried recently at 24 weeks. Like most mothers, she loved her baby more than anything and she's completely devestated, for lack of a better word. The real thing is, I'm wondering what I could do for her? She's no stranger to hardship (She's only 18 and an orphan) and I'm afraid she might do something really rash. I'm trying to be there for her, but it's hard to see her like this. I'm only 16, so I'm at a loss of what I can do. Please please help.

Hold her and let her cry. You can't do much right now and nothing you can say will help her either. She still needs you though. You're being a good friend.

i lost my first baby at 22 weeks and it was the hardest thing, all u can do is be a shoulder for her 2 cry on and let her know it will get better. I now have 4 kids and i am sooo happy i miss my baby but i have been blessed with 4 more and i know i am luckier than some.

Tell her to seek out counseling, the doctor she was seeing during her pregnancy should be able to recommend someone for her, its good to hear that your a good friend and you care for her, but i think she needs to go to a support group where she can talk amongst others in the same position. Tell her i hope she feels better, and good luck to the both of you!

Just be a friend, listen, help her with chores, cook her a favorite meal, Rent a comedy to watch with her. Let her know how much you care about her. Be there for her. That is all you can do.....
