going to the funeral tomorrow

We worked magic with DH's boss, and I'm leaving tomorrow (out and back) to attend my friend's baby's funeral (the one with the miscarriage). I'm still very heartbroken for her, so please send some healing thoughts her way. Her family is so broken and just beside themselves. Her therapist told her "this is the hardest thing you'll ever have to go through, so if you can make it through this, you can make it through anything" :(

Thank you all for the advice on how to support her... I heard from her about all the things people are saying, and it makes me so mad. Things like 'you've got to just move on' and 'it was probably a special needs baby anyway'... OY. She knows they are trying to help but MAN... my heart breaks for her :(

  • You are a great friend.

    And I am fuming on your friend's behalf. I can't believe people would say those things.

  • So glad you can be with her, even just briefly. Sending her and her family T&P of strength and comfort.
  • I am so glad you were able to attend the baby's funeral.  It will mean a great deal to your friend that you made such an effort.  Many prayers for her family and her sweet angel.
