friends of mine got pregnant and were expecting twins. they lost the first twin around 13 weeks. well i just got a call that my friend went into pre term labor at 22 weeks and had to deliver the baby. needless to say, the baby passed away. i feel so awful inside, i cried for like an hour straight at my job. i wanna do something for them but don't know what to do. i feel like words aren't enough

Words are good. Let them know you are there for them! That when they are ready you are there for them.

Re: what can i do??
Tell them you love them and will be there for them - then be there for them if they want it.
If you want to give them something tangible - frozen precooked dinners.
They were a wonderful thing for us the first couple of weeks (they still are). And they were the most useful things we got from people - flowers die, food baskets generally don't have much that's practical and Edible Arrangements cannot be eaten quickly enough between two people. The frozen dinners were extremely thoughtful and really came in handy.

Re: what can i do??
First of all, I am sorry to hear about your friend's loss.
I agree with Gerty, if you are close enough to bring them some food, dinners to eat I think that will help them. They have enough on their minds it will be difficult for them to think about cooking.
Let you know you are there for them if they need anything, send a card.

That sounds like a great idea. I am so sorry for your friend's loss

Re: what can i do??
i would say, just be there physically for them. Help them clean their home, run errands, make calls..take care of the mundane for them so they an take the time to grieve and get back to themselves.
The frozen dinners are a great idea as well.
Physically being there is so much more meaningful than sending flowers or other things will ever be.

Just remember...that's the best thing you can do. Mother's Day is coming up and she doesnt have her DC here. Just simply remember...(I know these things)
