My wife miscarried last year, a week after her best friend announced on Facebook. Their due dates were a week apart from each other. Honestly, I would be lying to you if I said my wife wasn't angry and jealous of her friend. She was mad at the world, and everyone around her. I can easily see how women commit suicide over this sort of thing. Wife went through all the classic steps of grieving- depression, despair, anger, loneliness etc.

this. this is exactly what happened with us. I can see why it can lead to a divorce. in our case, we didn't want to see or hear from any of our pregnant friends

This is very difficult and painful event and it impacts different families in different ways. It hurts. Bad. No words are helpful. Tell him you are terribly sorry and leave it at that. As his boss just let him know he has whatever flexibility he needs at work for a while to help his wife.

Oh yeah. She deleted her Facebook app for like 4 months and just stopped talking to anyone pregnant. Of course she got pregnant again about 3 months later, but in her mind, it would never happen again.

Still working on figuring out the female psyche.
