What Do You Say to a Friend *trigger warning*
Today I shared with a friend that my husband and I are expecting.
Her first response was, congratulations, etc. But then what followed just broke my heart. She said she lost her little boy at almost five months just two weeks ago.
Is there anything I can say or do to be supportive? Of course I asked how she is doing and didn't force her to talk about it, but what else can I do other than offer condolences and say that I'm here if she needs an ear?
I was also just starting to relax a little coming into my second trimester, so I can feel my anxiety returning.
It's all just so hard at times. And it sucks how little control we really have on what's going on in there. Virtual hugs to anyone who needs them tonight.
