Being there for a pregnant friend after a miscarriage

One of my best friends (7+ yrs) just told me she’s pregnant! I just had a miscarriage so I’m having a hard time accepting the news and being excited for her. I feel so selfish for not being excited. I literally burst into tears when she told me. This will be her 5th while we’ve been trying for our second. Any one else been through this. How were you able to be there for your close friend while also grieving?

So sorry you’re going thru this..it could be you feel envy?

Christmas day back in 2019 I went through the same thing and felt the same way. When I was around or talking to those who have kids or pregnant I would be happy for them I wouldn't express how I'd feel until I was alone and I'd cry it was heartbreaking for me especially when my aunts neighbor found out she was due when my baby was supposed to be born after I found out I locked myself in the bathroom and cried but obviously after I congratulated her

I’m all about honesty. I’m a very open person and let ppl know. ‘Listen I’m so happy for you. I honestly am. ‘ and Apologize in advance, if you ever come across otherwise. Tell her you’re still grieving your loss. (And disappointment) So sorry about your loss.

Yes. I lost 8 and everyone around me was getting their miracles. I would watch full-blown pregnant women, smoking and drinking and here. I was trying to do everything right…. It sucks but God willing, your time will come. It took 10 years to finally see my baby boy. But Gods timing is perfect. Take care of yourself. I’m so sorry. Praying for you
