My cousin`s wife just had a miscarriage and I was hoping that one of you ladies might know of a quote or poem, or just something that I could send her that might help her to get through this. Any help is appreciated.

If you tell her that you are sorry about her loss and will support her through her journey, wherever it may take her--That's so much more than enough. So few people "get it" when someone loses a pregnancy that the woman often experiences isolation. Simply acknowledging the loss and letting her grieve in her own way for as long as she needs to is a gift only a true friend can give.

One of my dear friends on this site posted this wonderful poem called "Wait" on a blog of hers. We have suffered recent losses, and this poem really helped put things in hopeful perspective. Copy the link to her blog - I would copy and paste it here, but I doubt it would copy properly: http://www.i-am-pregnant.com/vip-blog/redheadmama/1256512182
