My friend lost her baby

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
My husband is in another country, the country where I lived with him for 3 yrs.

While I was there I became close with another Mom. She was so sweet to me. I was pg first and had a miscarriage. She asked me 'What happened to the baby?' and I told her I had a miscarriage and started tearing up. She just gave me support and told me not to worry that we would have another chance and didn't say anything else.

I found out later that she was pg and had been excited because we were going to be pg at the same time It was so sweet and thoughtful of her not to tell me right then.

Yesterday my husband called to tell me that her son had been run over by her cousin (or uncle- he wasn't sure) and he had died.

I am still so sad and held my son so close last night.

Is there I anything I can do for her from so far away? I am a kundalini yogi and we chant 'Akaal' 3 times when someone passes and picture a blue light for them to go towards. Also I am sending her Reiki but what else can I do. i feel this pain so deeply for her and can't imagine what she is feeling.

What is the best thing for when someone loses a young child? he was 2 yrs old. Is it better to get in touch by phone or letter? I want her to know I am thinking about her and sending my love, but want to do it in the right way.

Oh, I'm so sorry for your friend and for you. I don't think there is a "right" way or a "best" way -- I am sure whatever you do to reach out to her and offer her your love and sorrow will be the right thing.

Just because of the time that international snail mail takes, I personally would be inclined to call first. If she's not up to talking to you then leave a message to let her know you're grieving for her and with her. Then follow up with email and/or snail mail.
