Many women are sensitive about their bodies. Before and after pregnancy, body image can be a tricky subject. You want to avoid talking about your body or your friend's body if they've just had a miscarriage. Such comments can trigger memories of a lost pregnancy. For example, refrain from discussing things like your weight, weight loss, or your friend's physical appearance. Even if they're unrelated to pregnancy, such comments can serve as a reminder. Many people forget that a miscarriage is a loss. Just because the baby was not carried to term does not mean you're friend is not mourning the child. Therefore, avoid comments encouraging your friend to see the bright side. Things like, "Remember, you can always get pregnant again" or "At least you know you can get pregnant" are not helpful during a miscarriage. Your friend likely already knows these things, but they do not make up for the loss. Try to avoid platitudes of cliches when discussing your friend's miscarriage. These statements are likely to come off as condescending or rude. Stick to talking about your friend's specific feelings.  Things like "Everything happens for a reason" and "Time can help heal you" are generally not helpful. Such statements can even be offensive, especially if your friend is still grieving. It is also important to steer clear of telling stories about other people’s miscarriages during this time. Instead, focus on your friend's specific experience. For example, ask something like, "How do you feel about everything?" Your friend will not appreciate unsolicited medical advice. They probably have a doctor talking them through the miscarriage. Avoid suggesting ways to prevent a miscarriage in the future or speculating on the causes of a miscarriage. This is unlikely to help your friend grieve and will simply come off as insensitive.  For example, refrain from making suggestions about your friend's health. Do not say things like, "I hear stress can contribute. Maybe in the future, when you're more relaxed, you'll have a healthier pregnancy." While you may think this is helpful, your friend may find it presumptuous and insensitive. If your friend wants to talk about things like doctor's appointments, ask questions instead of diagnosing. For example, "How did it go at the doctor's? How are you feeling about what your doctor said?"

One-sentence summary -- Avoid discussing your body image. Do not try to make your friend see a bright side. Stay away from platitudes. Do not give medical advice.


Use a 6B or dark pencil to draw a thin line on your paper. Make the line as tall as you'd like your fir tree to be. You can make your tree trunk as straight or curved as you like. Since you usually can't pick out the details when tree branches overlap, blend along the middle of the tree near the trunk. Try to leave the tips of the branches more defined so they stand out. If you don't have a blending stump, you can gently rub the paper with your clean finger. Go back over your tree with a sharp, dark pencil, such as a mechanical HB pencil, and draw over each branch so they really stand out. Then, draw the trunk between the branches much darker and shade in the base of the tree. Fill out the trunk so it's as wide as you like.
