I found out today that a good friend's baby died at birth last week. He was perfectly healthy, but the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and he suffocated in the last few minutes before he was born.
I've been holding back the tears all day at work and am now letting them flow while typing this.
She lives in New Zealand so I can't give her any practical help, but have sent some flowers and will send her a card.
I'd like to send her something else to show that I'm thinking of both of them and their baby boy, but don't know what. I thought maybe some of his birth flowers or a baby bracelet with his birthstone on it, but don't want to make it more painful for them than it already is.
Does anyone have any advice about what would be a suitable gift?
