One of my best friends who I don’t see very often (she lives in a different country) had a miscarriage a few weeks ago that she just told me about. Her fiancé and his family aren’t very supportive and so I just booked flights and trains to go and see her this weekend.

I want to maybe have a girly weekend with her - face masks, paint our nails, watch Disney movies - so that she’ll take some time for self care. I’m not going to force the topic of her miscarriage, if she wants to talk about it more then I’m there for her, but if she wants to leave it then I’ll still be there for her.

Is there anything else that I should do that will help, or is there something else entirely that you’d recommend?
