    Please help me find the right words

    My close friend (who is 24 weeks pg) came to visit me yesterday and told me her sister just lost her baby boy at 33 weeks . We hugged and cried together, I am just so devastated for them .

    I would like to send her sister and DH a card to express my sadness, but I'm unsure on what would be appropriate. I need some help if possible. I don't want to send a sympathy card, what would be an appropriate card to send? A "Thinking of you" card? I also need help with what to write in the card. How do you express your sadness while acknowledging their DS in a sensitive way? I'm so scared I'll say the wrong thing! I don't want to be one of those people who doesn't know what to say, so doesn't say anything at all. I think it's important to have your child acknowledged and to know others are thinking of you.

    I'd really appreciate if someone could help me find the right words.
