That simple question goes a long way. Maybe let her know that you are there is she needs to talk about anything. Just being there really means a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-be-supportive#post-807808 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:07:27 +0000 singingbee 807808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ink just checking in on how she is feeling is nice. I wouldn't ask anything too specific. I know when I lost our daughter it was hard dealing with others who were pregnant, but it would make me mad when people would assume I was going to have major problems or feel sorry for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-be-supportive#post-807795 Fri, 24 May 2013 14:59:54 +0000 pui 807795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe just let her know that you're there if she ever wants to talk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-be-supportive#post-807793 Fri, 24 May 2013 14:59:28 +0000 Mrs.Someone 807793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it would be nice to just ask how shes doing, without being too specific. Let her know you care and that you're thinking of her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-be-supportive#post-807749 Fri, 24 May 2013 14:43:48 +0000 wahine08 807749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure if I would say anything. Maybe ask how she's doing? I don't have any good advice but I think it's nice of you to think of her. </p> <p>I know that when I went through my loss and ladies around me were getting pregnant, I appreciated it when people who knew of our situation asked how we were. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-be-supportive#post-807728 Fri, 24 May 2013 14:33:07 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 807728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read a thread the other day about supporting women with infertility &amp; not staying silent. So ladies who have/are struggling, tell me what I should do.</p> <p>Our son's daycare teacher had a miscarriage a few months ago. She had told me when she got pregnant and later, when I asked how she was feeling, told me she lost it. She implied that it had happened before. </p> <p>We're not super close, but we often chat about things that aren't related to my son/daycare. Yesterday I found out that her teacher's aide is pregnant. I just feel like working all day surrounded by babies, with a pregnant co-worker must be hard emotionally. </p> <p>Do I say anything? What would I say? Is this an instance where it's better not to bring it up at all? </p>
