Hello all, in need of some advice.
My friend recently had a painful miscarriage. Actually she discovered her baby had abnormalities, most likely downs by worse that that too. She and her husband made the heartbreaking choice to terminate. She took the tablets, prior to going to hospital, to start thing off. But the baby came out at home, resulting in them both looking at their baby and giving her a ceremony, then a burial in the woods. Its such a sad story. It really affected me. I felt so helpless as her friend.
Inbetween time she has been cared for by her husband. She also had a birthday, but I was unable to attend. I told her I'd do something nice together with her. Some days have passed and I'm stalling it, because I feel stuck for ideas. I am a single mum, very tiny bank balance. But i'd like to do something with her that will be gentle and enjoyable. I know she's not up to much fun right now. What shall I do? Or what can I give her as a present right now?
I was thinking of a movie, but I don;t think she'd be up to it. And a movie could spark some emotions that she's not ready for right now. So what?
Does anyone have any ideas to recommend?
I feel so stuck and time is ticking. Soon it will be too late.
I hope someone can help.
thanks!
