I'm reeling with shock this week, ever since I found out that a woman (whose husband works with my husband) has lost her baby at around 6 months in August. As if that isn't tragic enough she also suffered an ectopic pregnancy before this one which apparently ruptured.
I don't really know her personally as all info comes from DH talking to her DH at work, but I know they were desperately trying for kids and I once saw her coming out of the maternity ward and we just smiled at each other. I'd really like to reach out to her somehow cos it must be awful and she prob doesnt have many english friends in Spain.
Apparently they've kept the sad news really low profile and no-ones come out and said much about it at his work. And of course my DH won't say anything much to her DH for fear of upsetting him. (You know how men get their heads down and disappear into their working world with stuff like that!)
But It's awkward isnt it? I can't help thinking that poor poor woman what she must have gone/ be going through! I mean even the sight of me with my growing bump might upset her. I've a feeling I should keep away also, but what would you do?
