Acknowledging 6 months since stillbirth

My dear friend's son was stillborn 6 months ago tomorrow.
Do you think sending a "thinking of [her son's name] and you" card is OK? Or should such cards be kept only for her son's birthdays?

Many thanks in advance.

Send it, ring her, she will be thinking of him every day anyway but it is always nice if someone else is thinking of him too.

I think she will be very touched,and relieved to know that others are thinking of her and her beautiful baby. X

Thank you both very much for your replies. I took your advice.
I often don't know what to say or do, but am learning from this board that doing something is usually better than nothing, even if it doesn't feel very useful.

Thank you again for the advice. And if you are on this board through your own bereavements, I am truly sorry. Flowers
