Holiday idea

Me and my sister desided that we are not doing Christmas exchange for eachother this year just our kids. Well in the middle of November my sister lost a pregnancy at 20weeks and delivered her only boy :(. I would like to do something special for her to bring up her spirits but am not sure what to do to honor this and still be in good tast. Any ideas

Re: Holiday idea

  • I wouldn't focus on doing something to honor the loss since that could open up healing wounds, but raising her spirits could make a big impact. Try doing a girls day so it's not going against the no present plan you two came up with. My BFF lost her sister recently and a bottle of wine and trip to the nail salon helped her a lot; if only because she knew she had support during this. 
  • I think a girls day out or in together would be nice. Spend some time together just enjoying each other's company. If the loss comes up let her know you are there for her.
  • PP's had very nice suggestions. So sorry you all are going through this.
  • I agree about not doing something centered around the loss, since it's hard for anyone to know what would be okay for the grieving person or how they want to handle their loss. Just being there and doing something will probably help a lot. And make sure she knows that she can talk about it to you, if she wants to, and if not, you're happy to help distract her. I'm sorry to hear about the loss, that's so devastating.
