My friend lost her baby recently. Sam is barely a month old. I just came back from vacation and the news came as a shock to me as well. We just celebrated his birth last month! What's bad about it was, I had to know about it through friendster. I feel terrible knowing I wasn't there during those times. I wouldn't know how to tell her how sorry I was for what happened. She wouldn't speak to anyone.I know she's in deep pain and I respect her silence. But how else would you comfort a friend whose heart is in pieces for losing the child she's waited for so long?

Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do to make her feel any better about what happened. All you can do is be there for her when and if she needs you there. Be there to listen, not talk and say how sorry you are, as that usually makes things worse. My friend lost her baby when he was 4 months old last year to SIDS. It's always sad to see and hear happen.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend's baby too. It's really heartbreaking to lose a child. I know that there's really nothing I can say or do at this time. So, you're right about just being a quiet but letting her know I'm here to listen to her griefs this time around.
