Need help with inspirational peem for mum of special care baby

[Sally2]

My best friend has just had a baby (41weeks) and she has been moved to the SCN as she is severly jaundiced and may also require a blood transfusion.
My partner and l have been through the NICU and SCN journey recently with our little boy Charlie (28+6weeks) and spent 10.5 weeks in there so know what she is going through. I feel so bad for her - she had a full term baby and shouldn't have to know some of what we experienced. She should have her baby in the ward with her and not be feeling the separation of not having her next to her and not being able to breastfeed etc. It all seems a bit too familiar she is being discharged today and she will then be going to the hospital daily to see her little girl and express for her.
I would like to offer her some inspiration and hope with a lovely poem, but l don't know where to find one about loving a new baby that is not with you.
Do any of you have any suggestions or ideas?? It would be greatly appreciated...

Hey Sally!

I think that Kellie knocked it on the head when she told me of a poem that she came across that said somthing like:

Don't ask me what I want because I don't know... I just know that I want to be near my little one.

I think that saying some things like that no-one can tell you how to feel, just go with it.

I think it's hard because I can only relate to premmies, not full term babies with complications! I think that you have the best words in you and you will think of something totally inspiring!

Good work and keep on smiling! Can't wait to see Charlie and you again!!!!
