Gift for friend after miscarriage?

[Emilie]

A dear friend of mine just told me she had a DNC on Friday at 12.5 weeks. She is obviously devastated.

We are having lunch on Friday and I would love to give her something or bring her something. I just want to acknowledge the situation in an appropriate manner.

Any thoughts?

(I searched but with the swtich we lost a lot of search history so no go on that but if there is another thread, feel free to just point me in that direction!)

ETA: I am visiting her from out of town so this must travel well or be able to be bought in that town.

Flowers and a card are always nice. We've lost 2 babies and it's amazing how far those sentiments go. One time we received a plant and we thought that was great too because it was as if the memory could live on but not everyone appreciates a live plant.

Even a basket of her favorite goodies along with a card could be comforting. Comfort food for a rough time always helps.

Flowers or a plant are a good thing. You could also give her a basket of some lotions (in scents she likes), bubble bath products (if that's something she likes - but make sure it isn't something that she could be allergic to. I'm one of the people that can't use any bubble bath products or I have major problems). A card with a handwritten letter would be good to go along with the gift as well.

Having gone through a m/c myself I found comfort when people acknowledged the loss.

I'm sorry for your friend's loss.

I know for me, I had an infant loss, but flowers and plants died and ended up being a bad reminder of what I suffered.

Taking a meal and a card acknowledging her child, if you can't take a meal, than a little basket for some pampering time
