My daughter had a miscarriage 2 years ago. She really wants to have a baby more than anything. She hasn't been able to get pregnant again. She is still not over it. I never tell her that she has to get over it because that just makes things worse. She is very jealous of all her friends and family that are her age and having babies. She is very hurt and blames God for letting it happen. Anyone have any advice on how to help her through this tough situation?

rumplestiltskin, It is great that you are seeking help for your daughter as you sound like a very caring mom. Like any death, this miscarriage is the same. I believe that your daughter will need to go through the stages of grief and sometimes we get stuck in a stage and it will just take time. Below is an article on this.

Thank you for your reply it really helps to know that someone cares enough to respond to your questions. Thanks for calling me a great mom. That is what I am trying to be for her. I know she sees that I am here for her. Thank you for reminding me about the 5 stages of grief. I guess it is just taking her a very long time to get to the acceptance stage.
Thanks again.

I think the only thing you can really do is just be there for her and listen. Everyone has their own timeline in dealing with grief and loss and she has to do the work herself. I would just try to be open to whatever it is she is feeling. Take care of yourself, too.

Know my grief is not the same as your daughter's but I myself have blamed God then felt horrible for it later. Its really hard to deal with. Just being there for her is a great thing I'm sure. Her getting angry and jealous goes along with it. If she has depression and not saying she does but that can make it worse. Depression is a mean beast. I have it and have it before I lost my mom and its got worse since then . Just listen to her, be there for her . Its all you can do.
