Don't know What I can do for a friend

A very good friend of mine lives in Ponchatoula and lost her 2 year old son last night in his sleep. He was born 4 months premature, but had survived all new born obsticles. I wish there was something I could do, my head tells me no, but my heart is breaking for her.

Re: Don't know What I can do for a friend

  • Oh gosh! That's so incredibly sad. I have no idea what you could do for her but to just be there if she wants to talk. :(
  • Oh no!  That is terrible news.  I would just call her or email and say you're there for her if she needs to talk.  So sad.
  • That is truly heart breaking. I am so sorry for what she is going through. I'm sure you wish you could be there to give her a big hug. All I can think of is sending flowers or cookies and a card. Cliche' I know but that's all I got.

  • I'm so sorry for your friend. Loosing a child is one thing no person should ever have to go through.

    I don't know if there is anything you can do other than just letting her know that you're there for her and if she needs anything at all to let you know and you'll do your best to get it to her. And that your ear is always open.

  • I'm so sorry, was it SIDS?

    I don't think there is much you can do for her right now other than to be sure she knows how much you love her and that you're there for her always....that breaks my heart.

  • I'd send her a card and call her.  I'd send her another card in another month or two to let her know that I haven't forgotten her son or her grief. 

    Other than that, what about sending her meals?  I can see from your info that you don't live in LA, but what about sending her meals from www.omahasteaks.com?  A girl on another board that I frequent lost her baby at 25 weeks or so and a bunch of girls on our board pooled money together and ordered tons of meals to be sent to her family.  They have stuff like lasagna, pot roast, pasta, etc. 

     

  • Another idea is to make a donation to the March of Dimes in honor of her child...

    Name a star after the child (she'll get a map of the constellation and coordinates of the star)...

     

  • That is very, very sad, and something no one should even have to go through. Just let her know you're there for her to talk, and the other ideas are good too.
