Can you guys help me?

Warning: pregnancy sadness

I have a friend who has been trying to get pregnant for six years. They tried EVERYTHING. They had given up, pretty much. Finally, kind of out of nowhere, she got pregnant this summer. She went in for her 20 week ultrasound today and the baby had died.

I am not local to her anymore, but I want to do something. I have been told that flowers aren't great because they die and need to be thrown away. Does anyone have an idea? I'm absolutely heartbroken for them.

This happened to me.

Send her favorite whatever. Food, beauty product, magazine subscription, books. Anything. Write a heartfelt hand written letter to her as well. It will be a small comfort for her to know you are here for her even if you are far away.

When I went through it, I didn't want to talk to anyone about it and didn't want anyone making a fuss over me. Maybe ask your friend what you can do for her. If she's a person who needs to let it all out, listen and let her know you support her. That's probably the best gift you can give her. If she's like me and wants to be left alone, do that for her.

I have a friend who just lost a baby at 22 weeks. I ordered a big order from Omaha Steaks --- signed the note -- "whenever you don't feel like going to the grocery store or cooking a big meal, I hope this can help"..... It stocked their freezer and then loved the idea.

I'm really sorry for your friends.

I am sorry.    I think a cookie or fruit bouquet would be nice
