Advice - about a coworker

This week I found out that a friend of mine from work had lost her baby. I believe she was due the first week of January, so she was pretty far along. They didn't want to post anything to read at work since most of our space is relatively public, which is why I didn't hear until about three days after. This was her second child - we went through our first pregnancies at the same time. Not only did she have to deliver this baby, but she also required a c section.   I just feel terrible for her and her family. We have been collecting money to take to one of those "Dinners Ready!" places to have a bunch of meals made for them, but aside from that, is there anything that I should try to do for her? I really wanted to hook her up with the NILMDTS foundation, but the day I found out, she was released from the hospital, so it was too late. I just feel like we should be offering more than food... but what? It's so sad.

Any advice is welcome. TIA!

Wow u sound like a really cool co-worker. U should do anything to reach out to her and make her feel better but dont act like u feel so bad for her bcuz sum ppl take it the wrong way. but I wish the best for her.

Give her a card with a well thought message just letting her know that you will be there for her if she needs anything, even just an ear to talk to.


Maybe give her a voucher for a massage or something to her pamper her...

True,I don't want her to come back to work and just be reminded of her loss. Good point!

That's a good idea. I could even offer to babysit her daughter so she and her husband can spend a little alone time together, maybe. That might be nice for them... Hmm. I'll have to find a good card this week.
