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.

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.

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?
Dont bring her baby gifts.
Wow. I am an asshole.

You expected class out of me?
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.
