Sad news this weekend....

[kinlaw6450]

My friends beautiful 4 month old baby died Friday afternoon. She was finally diagnosed as SIDS. She was perfectly fine in the morning and went down for her afternoon nap and never woke up. It just makes me so mad to have no explanation from the doctors other than SIDS. Just doesn't seem fair, but life isn't fair is it?

I can tell my friend how sad I am and sorry and all those things but what can I really do?? For the moment I am staying in the shadow and hoping she knows we are all here for her when and if she needs us.

Oh, how sad.
I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry kinlaw. My prayers for this family. Just being there for your friend and having a shoulder to cry on with be a great help.

That is so sad. The poor family

I'm so sorry.

Your friend needs you now. There's nothing you can do except put your arms around her and let her cry on your shoulder. It will be hard for you to approach her when you don't know what to say or do, but you'll both be glad that you did. But don't stay in the shadows, she really needs you. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to approach her.

Please, please go talk to her. Bring her dinner or something, anything, even just a hug.

How very sad! I can't imagine how painful that must be for those poor parents. My prayers are with them!

 

[browneyes]

{{hugs}} No, it doesn't seem fair.

 

[jamsmom]

That is so sad. I can't even imagine. Go give her a hug and maybe take dinner. She may not feel like eating, though.

 

[helenabear]

That is so sad My thoughts are with the family.

How heartbreaking. Let your friend know that you are there for her day or night. Prayers for that little angel and her family.

This happened to my best friend. We both had our baby girls about a month apart. We made so many plans about how our daughters were going to be best friends...just like us. They both spent the night with us quite often. We were both single mothers at the time so we really needed each other's support. She wasn't with me when it happened. It was the day of our Jr. Prom. I got the call right after I had my hair and makeup done. She INSISTED that I go ahead and go to Prom but I didn't have much fun.

Trust me, you don't have to say ANYTHING. All you need to do is put your arms around her. The funeral is the hard part. The father of my friend's baby didn't even show up to his own daughter's funeral! I just sat by her side and held her in my arms. It was the worst thing to have to get through and it was twice as hard for her to go through. But you don't have to say a word...chances are she doesn't want you to say anything anyway. My friend didn't feel like talking but when she did she knew I was there.

From the voice of experience. Your friend will really need you in the days and weeks to come when everyone else has gone home and back to their regular life. Something will happen or she will see somehting that will open the wounds all over again and that is when she will need a good friend to cry and talk to. Remember the babies birthday as well.

I'm so sorry. This happened to a co-worker of ours with their 1 month old.

Be there for your friend today, tomorrow, and the day after the day after the day after the day after... tomorrow (in other words for a very long time).

How truly sad indeed. The parents grief is unimaginable, I am so sorry for their loss. Truly heartbreaking.

Please, let your friend know you are there for her. Don't stay in the shadows and think she will know you are there. She will need all the support she can get now. What a horrible thing to happen to your friend. My friends DS died from SIDS when he was 3 months old and the hardest thing I had to do was to talk to her(I was pregnant). In the coming months we spent time looking at photos of his 1st xmas etc. She needed someone other than family to talk to. I didn't have to say anything but I just had to be there for her.

 

[dianeschlicht]

Oh, how very sad!

Just be there for her. Make sure you call her EVERY day and try to get her out and about. It is something she will NEVER get over.
