    Oh bless her, that must be so difficult. It’s hard for all the family. The best thing you can do is be there for her, listen to her and just be kind because you all must be heartbroken.

    I'm really sorry to hear this @Shaunie <3. I remember you talking about how your sister really wanted a family and was starting IVF. I'm hearing how hard this is for your sister, as well as yourself and your family too <3

    @independent_ has shared some really good advice, I'd echo being there for her, listening, and being kind and also to yourself too. I also had a look online and found some articles with some advice on how to support someone going through pregnancy loss. There are a few different websites that all have some really great tips that you might find helpful reading through.

    Miscarriage association - They have an article about supporting someone through pregnancy loss

    Tommy's - a blog about supporting someone who has had a miscarriage.

    I also wanted to check in and ask how you're feeling? We're all here for you too <3
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    Thank you @independent_ and @Aife

    I am with my sister and brother in law at the Peak District been here since Thursday and going home tomorrow but it’s been very tense cause obviously of the miscarriage and they keep arguing and I am getting annoyed with him. And we are tempted to leave today cause he is just very snappy and speaking to my sister like shit

    I did say to him that I am also annoyed with you now lmao. I was scared but I snapped too. Now I feel bad
