Have any of you women experienced a stillbirth?

(And guys, if you come in and try to be smart asses about this, you will be blocked. This is serious.)

A dear friend of mine has just gone through that a few days ago, and I she has a few questions, that of course, I couldn't answer myself.

How did you get through it?

How long was your physical recovery?

Were you able to have children thereafter, and if so were the births difficult? (of course, her biggest concern/fear)

And from myself....How can I be there for her without being too intrusive?

As far as what you can do to help, the bottom line is, listen to her when she wants to talk. Help her understand (when she’s ready) that it wasn’t the time she got angry or the time she tripped over the cat and fell...[b]it was not her fault.[/b]
