[quote=Anonymous]I think it's absolutely important that you acknowledge what happened and let her know you are there to support her if she needs it. Keep words simple & short but don't let it all go through your husband & bil. There is nothing worse in times of a personal tragedy to feel like people are ignoring/avoiding you because they are uncomfortable. I didn't lose my baby but she was born 16 weeks early, and had (still has) an incredibly difficult journey. The friends/family that sort of just ignored us or avoided ever mentioning what happened, made me feel much worse. I was far more appreciative of the friends who just listened to me, agreed that sometimes life unfairly sucks, and helped in small ways--even the ones who were due before me & STILL pregnant/delivered full term babies which mine struggled to survive.
