Re: Can I have some advice for my friend? sorry long

Having been in that situation, IMO respect her need to want to be alone. She needs to grieve this, and everyone grieves it in their own way. I close myself off from the world when things get really bad. I don't answer the phone, I don't return phone calls, I don't return emails. I need to be alone. It sounds to me, this is what she needs at this time. When she is ready she will reach out and talk to you. However, you also need to understand, that she may never want to talk about it.

It's nice and a wonderful thing you want to be there for her.

ITA. I have relatives and friends who are either PG, moms, or not TTC at all... and none of them can relate to me. Unless you're in our boat, you really don't understand (and that's not meant to offend or insult you, so please don't take it that way Chat Icon ). It's just really hard- you feel like an outcast from the world... and sometimes you just need to shut the world out in order to survive.
I agree that you're a wonderful friend for caring about her enough to be there for her.Chat Icon
