what can I do to help a friend after a miscarriage?
good friend just had a miscarriage today...she is in ATL, I 'm here. I am at a loss of what to do. Her family as well as her husbands family are in ATL-so I am sure the meals and such are taken care of.
Re: what can I do to help a friend after a miscarriage?
you could send a small flower arragement or edible arrangement thing or simply a heart felt note
you know your friend best- just do something that lets her know you are thinking of her and that your available to talk if she needs it.
I'm so sorry for her loss btw
I received flowers and they made me smile for the first time in days.
TTC#2=July 2011: Surprise BFP: Chemical Pregnancy
The best thing to do is not to ignore. I had so many people, even family, not call or talk to me for a while. They mostly said, "I didn't know what to say." It is awesome that you are thinking of her and wondering what you can do. She may or may not want to talk. I didn't answer my phone for a while. Even just a text that says, "thinking about you" goes a long way.
I had a friend send me chocolate covered strawberries from Edible Arrangements. I thought that was nice. They were really yummy too.
There are lots of memory items on Etsy if you want to get her something. Something that says something like, "Always in our hearts". When I lost our baby girl in '09, I bought myself a Remembrance Ring from James Avery...I wear it everyday. It is October's birthstone. When we have more children, I'll add to it. That way our babies will always be remembered.
Don't forget milestones. EDD's are huge. I cried and cried on my EDD. All you are thinking about it all the "what ifs" and the fact that you should be having a newborn. Find out her EDD and send her a card or text just saying "Thinking about you on this day."
I have a blog entry with some things to say or don't say, or to do or not to do. http://www.mattandallysonjackson.blogspot.com/ It's 2 posts down. I haven't updated it in a while. I've been in a slump.
If you have any questions or need any advice, just page me or send me a PM. Lots of love and hugs to you and your friend and her family.
