This happened a week ago and I’m finally thinking about this without cursing myself.

So, about a week ago my new neighbour called me because we were supposed to go to a colony meeting together.

About an hour before we were supposed to leave she calls me to tell me that she won’t be able to come. I said okay then asked if everything is okay. She said, “Yeah. I did a pregnancy test this morning and it was positive-”

And this is where I went “congratulations!!!” before letting her complete her sentence.

She went, “Yeah…no. I actually had a miscarriage few hours later.”

My brain froze in horror and guilt. I have lost count the number of times I said sorry to hear that day.

She says it’s not a big deal, but everytime I put myself in her shoes I feel worse.

It’s been over a week and this still makes me wince.

TL;DR Congratulaed neighbour on conceiving before letting her finish that she had instead suffered a miscarriage.
