How can I support my friend through medical termination?

Hi a friend of mine is due to begin the process of a medical termination today of a very much wanted baby.
She as you can imagine is devastated. I am 2 weeks behind her in my pregnancy and I don't want that to make it harder for her. Anyone that's been through it is there anything I can do to support her? Maybe a little gift or something I can post to let her know I am here and understand if she wants to avoid me for a while.
We were so excited to be pregnant together, she deserves to be a mum more than anyone and I'm heartbroken for her and feel really guilty about my own pregnancy - which I know she wouldn't want.
Anyway any ideas at all about how I can make this time even slightly easier for her would be much appreciated.

Thank you. Xx

Maybe put together a little recovery/relaxation box together for her? Favourite film on DVD, favourite chocolate, new pjs, couple of magazines etc and a little note just saying you are there for her if she needs you, and if she needs some space that's fine, when she is ready you are there.

You sound like a lovely friend to be so concerned for her x
