Suggestions?
My brother and SIL called the whole family about 3 weeks ago to tell us all that they were pregnant and expecting in June. We were thrilled for them of course and sent cards. It's their first and they're super excited, all to be expected. Unfortunately, we got another call on Monday telling us my SIL had lost the baby. They live about a 6 hour drive away, so I'd like to send them a note or a card, but I don't want to make a hard situation any more difficult on them. Any suggestions of what to write (or if I shouldn't?).
Thanks!
Re: Suggestions?
I'd keep it simple. Get a card and add "We're here if you need us."
Definitely send a card - "Sorry for your loss. We're here if you need anything." I would also call my brother directly to see how they are doing, but I might wait a day or so to give them some privacy.
Don't ignore the loss, but don't go spouting a lot of platitudes about them being young and able to have other children. Just keep it simple.
