Do I acknowledge a friend's due date after a miscarriage?

[Olihan]

A friend of mine had a miscarriage at 14 weeks and I know the due date is around now. I don't see her very often but wanted to let her now I was thinking of her.

I'm not really sure of what to do though, I thought of sending her a text saying 'thinking about you & dh, hope you're doing ok' sort of thing but I wondered if anyone else had any better ideas.

I've never been in her situation so I don't know what the best thing to do is.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Can you have flowers delivered to her house with a simple message?

Any form of communication would be lovely. How about a card??

I think a card would be nicer than a text, but whatever you do she will be so touched that you remembered.

I think she would appreciate you thinking of her - you can bet she's thinking about it all

I thought of a card but wasn't sure what type to get - just a 'thinking of you' or plain one?

I had a friend miscarry around the same time. I did acknowledge it on her due date and simply let her know (by email)I was thinking of her. She was really touched I remembered as no one else had and it was obviously a date she would not forget. I guess people respond differently but from my experience you will be well received

I would send a blank card with a bright/cheerful/colourful picture on the front and then a message saying exactly what you've already said - you are thinking of her. It might be just what she needs, to know you have remembered, I bet she calls you. You are obviously a thoughtful friend.
