    that such sad news.

    my mate lost 3 kids during her pregnancy. the first time at 16 weeks she had twins and then at 7 months with her third. she was distraught bless her. i just sat with her and talked to her and kept her company. she went to counselling through the hospital and that helped her.

    horrid thing to have to go through.

    Ok I'll try my best with this.

    Two weeks is not a very long amount of time to deal with something like this so I wouldnt see it as abnormal for her not to have left her house.

    I think that all you can do is to be there if she wants to talk, but also be there if she doesnt if you know what I mean. If you are really worried about her well being and are scared she may do somthing to harm herself it is important that other family members are aware of this, if she does have a partner he must be feeling quite raw at the moment but it might be worth having a word with him as well.

    I guess the most important things it to let her know your there for her, even making sure she has enough bread, milk etc or going round to clean her house could help as its probably the last thing on her mind.

    Sorry to here of your loss as well.

    Hope this could be of some help.

    In times like this, that's all you can do. Just show you are there, and let her have a shoulder to cry on.

    arrr sorry to hear this,it must be terrible when you have a miscarriage but even more so if there baby has been born and then has passed away.poor women,its best to give her the time alone that she needs to come to terms with it but also to let her know you are there for her should she need you.
