How do I cope with this...

I had an early miscarriage at 6 weeks in Nov, I had 2 weeks of spotting followed by bloods and a scan to confirm that I was having a miscarriage. Once confirmed I started bleeding heavily and everything passed quickly with little pain. I got a negative pregnancy test a week later. This was my first miscarriage but second pregnancy, I have a healthy 4 year old already.
I'm currently waiting for my first period since the miscarriage and I thought I was doing OK but yesterday some friends announced they are pregnant with a due date of 3 weeks ahead of us and a potential of induction date of when my exact due date would have been. I feel like I've been hit by a bus. They didn't know about my miscarriage.
I feel really happy for them especially as they have experianced pregnancy loss themselves.
I just feel incredibly sad for us, I struggled to sleep last night and juat couldn't stop crying for what we have lost. How do I deal with these feelings while not pushing my friends away?

Very similar situation to you. I miscarried in November at 6 weeks and have a 3 year old. I've not waited for another period and started trying again straight away after the bleeding stopped, currently 4dpo.
My ex best friend works where i do and has recently announced shes pregnant (not even in a relationship and father questionable) to make it even more annoying as im happily married. She's walking around holding her tummy all the time and i get this wave of upset/anger constantly. I often have a shower to just go and cry on my own. We were trying for 16 months so when i finally go pregnant i was over the moon for it to be ripped away. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to make it better, time is a healer though. Ive just got up, dusted myself off to try again. I hope you find some strengh soon lovey. X
