Depressed..

So I found out that my sister miscarried her baby... I mean I know she wanted to wait til after the wedding anyways and it came as a total surprise but I just don't know what to do knowing she's going through this and I'm expecting my baby on August. Should I just go back to hidding it completely instead of slowly being okay with people seeing me pregnant; I spent over half this pregnancy doing so anyways and I really don't want to make her upset..

Hi lost and broken...

I’m sorry to hear about this really sad news.

I’m not sure what sort of relationship you have with your sister. Could you chat with her? Have a heart to heart tell her how you feel.

If you speak with her she may mention things and you may feel more comfortable.i hope you can both talk, in my opinion it doesn’t seem right you have to hide away. It’s very sad this has happened, but don’t feel you have to hide.

With every good wish to you 🌺🌼🌺🌼

Olivia40 I'm amazed at the wisdom and soulful insight in your words!

Lostandbroken, I am so sorry for you, your family's and your sister's loss; You never know; what might make you think is uncomfortable for your sister may actually give her comfort....that maybe she will find joy again in her new little niece or nephew. For what it's worth, in my belief system, we as souls choose to come here and sometimes may choose not to (even in utero), that somehow we have not selected the right place or the right timing (This time around.) Circumstances could have changed. I know that even in believing in the spiritual (in whatever ways you and your sister and family does) cannot EVER fill the emptiness or the explain the senselessness of this tragedy. But perhaps it can give some sort of hope. I know that we do not all believe the same and that is OK; I just share my beliefs in the hope that it may give comfort just knowing that these things just may be possible.

I agree with Olivia, I think breaking the ice gently would be a good start, especially instead of wondering the Should I's or Shouldn't I's. (Should I do this or that or say this or that or shouldn't I.) You can lay the groundwork gently by first telling your sister that you care so very much for her and that you are there for her. This creates a caring, kind and compassionate environment to bring up the more uncomfortable things you may wish to say. It's OK to just say, "Look I don't really know how to say this, but you are my sister and...….." Just being honest gently and making that connection, reminding her of your sisterhood; this will sort of ground her and keep her stable and let her know that you are right there beside her, as sisters, that she is not walking this alone. These are all just my thoughts…...again I am so sorry for your loss and I hope that you, your sister and family can heal and find joy again.
