You do not want to start a conversation by criticizing their experience with the labor process. You should simply be there with the person and try to let them talk. Your friend probably does not expect you to have the right words and, in fact, there may be little to say that will provide concrete comfort in the aftermath of a miscarriage. Often, the best thing to do for a friend grieving pregnancy loss is to simply listen without judgment. It's not your job to " sympathize " with them or give advice. While you should not think about what they're going through, pay attention and make sure they're not overwhelmed. Listening is important for emotional pain, but not for depression and anxiety. When someone is feeling sad and lonely you should be there for them.
