So good friends of mine had a miscarriage, just last night. This was one they were planning for and were so happy about having. What do I say to them? What do I do? Should I even bring it up? It's a tragic loss.

that sucks man. i'm sorry but i don't think you should bring it up. it's probably better off that way.

Whatever you do don't say, "Hey. Did you lose weight?"

I usually laugh at these stories but usually the baby isn't planned. That is horrible. I guess just say that you're sorry to hear their loss. I'm sure they'll try again or maybe go to a doctor to find out how they can prevent it from happening again.

My mum had a miscarriage before she eventually gave birth to me.

How lucky for me.

there was a sign language teacher up at my school that had a miscarriage.....you shouldn't say anything about it, probably not for a good long while, like years, and don't look at them in a funny way because they will breakdown and start crying

wow i'm so sorry....this happened to my best friend last year...it was really hard to deal with

we were actually going through a fight when she called me crying and told me what had happened...
treat it as a death..."i'm sorry for everything that happened, i'm sorry for your loss..." just be there for her in any way you can

how far along was she?

My mom and my stepmom have both miscarried more than once. It is a highly emotional time for them, not only have they lost a child, but their hormones are also absolutely crazy. Just be there for support, be optimistic for her.
