My mom told me that my brother and his gf recently terminated a pregnancy and he’s been a bit depressed since. I really want to reach out and be there for him but my mom wasn’t suppose to share this with me in the first place! 🫠

Are you close to your brother? I would reach out and he may bring it up organically 🥺

We are close but I think this is something he only wanted to share with my mom. He hasn’t even told our brother (they are literally best friends) which I accidentally told because I assumed he knew

Send him a text to meet up for drinks to chat and catch up. It might come up naturally if he's looking to confide in someone

Drinks for sure. Try to be natural about the hanging out, but be a bit more intentional in having a good time. The situation should naturally bubble up given the severity.

Just don’t drink too much and end up bringing it up yourself!

I would reach out anyways without bringing this up - You could even suggest some activity to help lift his spirits and, if he choses, would give him the opportunity to share this info with you

e.g., “hey! Miss hanging out with you and I want to try x restaurant, would you want to come with?”

Reach out like you usually would. If he wants to talk he’ll make it clear. If he doesn’t want to talk or meet up then I’m sure just knowing you care about him will help.
