How can I help my friend?

[surroundedbyblondes]

I have a lovely, smart, funny friend who has had her world turned upside down hearing that her baby died at 35 weeks. She and her Dh are devastated. It's heartbreaking.

What can I best do to support her? She has a 2 year old DS and lives away from her family. I'm also far away but could get my DM to help with my DCs in order to help her out with practical stuff, but I don't want to crowd her either.

Ita a hard one, Im going to say just be there for her. Tell her that you are there to listen to the story of her baby if she wants to tell you.
In the first weeks after my daughter was stillborn I just wanted to be with my husband I didnt want to see anyone and that included family. We went away for a few days. It may be different for her as she has a child.
Send a card and say in the card that you are offering help, this maybe better than phoning her.

I am sorry to hear about this, its heartbreaking to hear that its happens to others.

When she is ready, let her talk about her baby, and tell her about the support on here. MN has helped me so much. Also SANDS, they are great.
