Someone I know has recently given birth to her first child and the baby has a lot of medical issues. The drs don't expect the baby to live longer than a few days. I am going to visit in the hospital tomorrow but I don't know what to say. I don't want to say anything that might be wrong. Do I congratulate on the birth? I feel like I want to because she has a precious baby now but is that what she wants to hear? Is there any organizations, gestures, advice, councillors, web sites, support groups etc I should do or tell her about? Or just leave it. Chances are I won't see her again for a long while, after this due to distance and location so I really don't know how much I should offer in only one visit. Any advice or pointers?
