Card for a miscarriage?

[jacksmomma]

A co-worker of mine who is becoming a great friend just had a miscarriage. She finally got pregnant on her second round of fertility treaments, but it was tubal. Any suggestions on a card? I want to express my sympathy and let her know how much I care. I have not had any miscarraiges, but my mother has had several so I know a little something about the pain. So, any thoughts?

I had one many years ago..... very sad thing for a woman
It is nice of you to send a card. I kept mine for many years

How about a flower on the cover.... and some hand written sorry for your loss type. I think the flower will make the impack.
I am finding people are keeping home made card so much more than the purchased kinds.

I think it's wonderfully thoughtful of you to be thinking about your friend at this difficult time for her. Having gone through this more than once, naturally and with infertility treatments, I wouldn't have wanted a card specific to my loss. I had a couple of friends who sent me "thinking of you" cards and that meant a lot to me. I got a couple of those after our adoption fell through, too, and appreciated them a lot. But, a card that specifically mentioned my miscarriage would have made me more sad. That's just my 2 cents.

I actually found a beautiful card at Hallmark for miscarriage. I can't remember what it said. I gave it to a co-worker who's daughter in law had to terminate a pregnancy due to malformation and only a brain stem. It was really tough for me as I had just found out the I was pregnant the day before and I was the one who answered the phone and had to console my co-worker.
The card was perfect. If you want to make one I would go to hallmark and copy what it said. They always have the perfect card
I'm so sorry for your co-workers loss.

“God grant me the patience to accept that which cannot be changed, the courage to change that which can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

got that for a friend who had to terminate a pregnancy. She was actually going in to have gastric by-pass when she found out she was pregnant at her last pre-op appt but she was told he would never survive, lots of genetic problems.

And I got her a little necklace that had an angel on it.

That's a tough one. Having gone through one miscarriage and almost a full year of fertility treatments, it's extremely hard. As time goes on (and I got my miracle), it's easier, but around every July 14th, I get in a bit of a funk. Like Jennifer said, I think a "thinking of you" would be more appreciated than something specific to a miscarriage.

I did find that people just didn't know what to say. I'm sorry always made me cry, but it was better than ignoring it.

to her.

after having 2 miscarriages and 1 ectopic pregnancy I found around the time of the losses that I took it very badly and words on a card meant very little in comparison to what I was going through however when my friend remembered my would have been due date that touched me to the core . I really really appreciated that . She just sent a card thinking of you time is a healer . Loved it

I have never experienced such a loss, my heart goes to those who have. When I know someone who has I can't bring myself to send a sympathy card, I prefer to send a thinking of you card.
