My mother is starting to finalize names and addresses of folks I want to invite to my shower to send out invites this week.
We just found out that DH's cousin and his wife lost their pregnancy last week... they were right around the end of the first tri. We see them at all big family functions (weddings, graduations, etc.) but not much beyond that these days... but prior to their loss, I wouldn't have questioned a second about sending an invite to the cousin's wife since the rest of the gals from the family are being invited.
I've only dealt with this from the infertility standpoint- I got baby shower invites, declined politely as going to the events was so very hard for me and sent a gift from the website of wherever the mom is registered while we were TTC.... but this is obviously alot different than my situation.
Should I still send an invite to her? I really don't know how to handle the whole situation... since her loss is so new and I don't want to add salt to any wounds for her- and I want to keep her well being as my main priority.
