Can't believe this has happened.

[tiggyfours]

Please help me to help my friend, what can I do to help, just so shocked .

Tell me what has happened and I will try to help you.

what's up?

Just so shocked and want to help but don't know how you could possibly say anything that would help.

What has happened? (((hugs)))

Some times its best just to listen.

Practical help with childcare, food, offers of lifts to hospital etc - what ever is appropriate.

PM me if you want some support for yourself.

Thanks everyone, just shocked at the moment.Life just ticks along with the usual school runs, cooking meals and the never ending ironing pile, but it all seems so irrelevent in the big scheme of things.

((hugs))

Friends have lost their baby, just can't get my head around it, it just is like it is a bad dream.

Yes, you are right. It is just natural to want to rush and help, but probably best to just be there by a letter or card . It is just totally unexpected, and that is why such a shock. Thanks for all your replies, it is great to have advice at this time.

Give them time, don't be scared to tell them that you love them and are there for them, and don't avoid them whatever you do. Let them know words cant express what they're going through, but that you are there to talk and to understand.

Hope you're ok, it must be an awful shock as a best friend xx

It must be so hard to find the right words to show support in such terrible circumstances. I think you have to let them know you're there and maybe help with some of the practical stuff. X
