Re: WWYD?

  • I wont be much help because I sent flowers when faced with a similar situation recently. If it helps I know they were very much appreciated.
  • Wow, that is a tough one. I probably would send flowers and a heartfelt card/return email. IMHO I doubt there is anything that you could really do, besides acknowledge her pain and how much it sucks and not ignore the elephant in the room.

  • ditto zee.

    I know someone who miscarried that really appreciated the people who sent her alcohol.  Also, can you send her some sort of food, that she wouldnt have to cook herself?  Edible Arrangement

  • I am an awkward_asshole who probably wouldn't do anything because I'd feel uncomfortable about sending something that would remind the person of the loss.

    But, as we all know, I'm totally weird and generally a poor example in the realm of etiquette.?

  • In the past, I haven't done anything for the same reason as Wemo.

  • if it was one of my closest friends, i send flowers or wine. just depends on the person. so sad. :(

    I thought about alcohol for 2.2 seconds but then thought that might make her feel worse. ;(

  • I think I might just send a very heartfelt note or card, just to let her know you are thinking of her.

  • honestly, gifts don't really matter as much as a phone call, visit, or a simple hug.  i know when it happened to me, i just really appreciated acknowledgment of the loss from the few folks who we told.

    even a few kind words from awkward_assholes helped and meant a lot.

  • she sent out a mass email to everyone saying she probably won't be answering the phone or responding to emails anytime soon.  and I can't give her a hug.  ;(

    alas, flowers will have to suffice.
