Try comfort her as much as you can, I hate to say because there’s not really a lot anyone can do to reverse what’s happened. Maybe offer to take her for lunch or even for a walk and get her out to take her mind off it x

@Rachael I know there’s not a lot I can do apart from everyday be there for her But I’m trying to reassure her it’s not her fault she is just asking me why her body’s not working why has it failed her baby and plus she knows the baby is still there inside her for next week or so and it’s killing her I’ll see if I can get her to come out somewhere just me and her wether that’s go on night out or out for the day or do little gestures xx

When I had a miscarriage I got a Jizo statue which helped me a lot, Jizo is believed to be the protector of children and unborn babies in Japanese Buddhist teaching. I still have it now and talk to the baby I lost through it. It brought me a lot of comfort, might not work for your friend but thought I’d share as it helped me x
