Help.

This may seem odd, but I just found out that my cousin, and her husband just lost there baby. They had been trying for 2 years, they did there first invitro, and it worked, now the baby is lost. She just found yesterday, and sent us all an e-mail. I have typed a reply numerous times, how does this sound to you?

We can't imagine you devestaion, and loss. However, I want you to know that mine and Julie's warmest thoughts are with the two of you, and that we love you both very very very much. Here is the biggest hug I can give ((((((((((hugs)))))))))))).

Love Always, Rikki and Julie

Re: Help.

  • sounds very sweet to me. 

    honestly, i cant imagine there's much anyone can say in that situation to make it not hurt :(

  • Yea. . . . they deserve a child soooooooo much, and it's only getting harder for her TTC b/c of her age. Ugh, I just wish there was something I could do to ease thier pain. Can I have a magic wand please?

    I would remove the "However" and the "warmest". I know that sounds weird, but the however makes a beautiful sentiment sound dismissive. 

    The only other thing I could think of to add is something about how you'll always remember this lost baby of theirs. But you'll have to judge that one for yourself. I just know from experience that you want to feel like you aren't the only one hurting and like this baby that they had already started to love won't be forgotten by all but them. Make sense?

  • Also... everyone comes to people immediately following bad events... but then the people fade away while your pain is still very much there. Check on her in a few weeks, a month, a few months... just tell her you are still thinking of her and her husband, and ask her if she'd like to talk. Or just send her a card on the one month anny...
