My brother and his girlfriend just lost a baby. She was 8 weeks pregnant and had a miscarriage. My brother is really upset about it. They have a daughter who was born with 1/2 a heart. Shes doing fine now but when they thought they were going to lose her my brother took it very heard. And now i dont no what to say to him, i know that anything i say will not change the fact that they just lost a baby. My brother and I are very close and i just want him to stop blaming himself. He says that it has to be his fault that they lost this baby and that his daughter was born with 1/2 a heart, and none of that is true but how do i get him to understand that?

Hey im sorry about that...i didn't know she was preg again....well he's your brother....talk to him tell him that there was nothing he could do...it happened for a reason....maybe it was a sign that they weren't ready for another baby or something.....
