My son is 19. He and his girl friend, who is 17, got pregnant. At the beginning of her fourth month of pregnancy, she miscarried. They are not dealing with this very well at all.
Because it was an unexpected pregnancy, all parties involved went through the stages of anger, upset and finally excitement. Just about then is when the emotional roller coaster broke down and the miscarriage occured.
I don't know what to say or do to help them through this terrible time. I am open to any suggestions you may have to offer. If there is anyone out there who has experienced this themselves, perhaps I could refer her to talk with you online.
I am really afraid of what may happen to her emotionally if she doesn't talk to someone soon. It is hard enough to deal with everyday issues when your a teen, let alone have something like this to cope with.

I know you are all going through a tough phase in your lives. A lot of talking helps, just listening to emotional outbursts help. Just being there helps. Sometimes it is not so much what u say but just a little gesture helps. Time heals all wounds but some of you need to be strong and supportive at this time rather than blaming urselves. Remember for her it is not the end of the world. God bless.
I understand completely how they feel. I have had 2 miscarriages both at a young age. It was very had and I felt all alone. Even though I had all kids of support. It was the hardest thing I had to go through. I was so depressed that I stayed to myself for like 2 months and I still think of it alot. I didn't want to be around any kids no matter what age anyone that was going to have a baby. It was bad. I will talk to them both if you would like me to. I will help you as much as I can.Just let them know that everything happens for a reason good and bad. And that you are there for them anytime day or night. They will listen even though you think they are not. They know that you are and that you love them
