    Oh crap Ali, that's devastating news. Maybe when you text her ask her if you can go see her but let her know there is no pressure. She may want supportive ppl there or she may not. It's so horrible this happened. I guess just be there for her when she needs to talk or just to be by her side. I will send a prayer for her.

    ali, so so so sad

    my BF's DS died during labour 8 weeks before DD1 was born, its was the most devestating thing that has ever happened to someone i love. when he passed away they called me to be with her, i got to see and hold her DS and was truely blesssed to have been able to meet him. its going to be a long hard road for them, i cant imagine their pain. just be there for her, offer a shoulder to cry on , make then dinners etc.. but keep your distance if thats what they want, go and visit her today if she wants visiters, she may need you there

    I was thinking of going to visit her today (and have told her in a msg that I would love to meet beautiful Zara) if she would like visitors but havent heard back.

    I was thinking of going out and buying her beautiful candle or charm.

    DP was even in tears. He is best mates with my GF's husband. This is their second child.

    I went to the hospital but she had left to go home half an hour earlier. I just msg'd again saying I am there when she needs me. Thanks for all being there for me this arvo. I was a mess. Still am but have had a shower and tried to get it together now. Have picked up DD from childcrae and given her lots of squishy cuddles.

    I bought my friend a gorgeous little butterfly ornament that is just stunning and it says daughter on it, a candle and then some comfort things. She loves m&ms so I bought her some of those, her favourite drink (diet coke) and a journal.

    It feels really strange that less than 24hours ago I was saying to her that I would bring her a bottle of champagne to have a little celebratory drink when Zara arrived and some metamucil that she forgot to buy. It makes me kind of second guess everything I have said to her and wonder whether it was the right or wrong thing to say.

    Oh Ali that is so very sad. Sending enormous massive hugs your way and lots of thoughts and strength for your friend. So devastating. All you can do is follow her lead. What she wants/needs may change daily/hourly. Your gifts sound beautiful and very thoughtful. Don't second guess yourself hun. I am sure you are being very sensitive and supportive. She is lucky to have a friend as good as you. Take some time for your own grief too hun. xx

    Ali, how devestating I can't even begin to imagine what they are going through. Just be the wonderful friend you are and be there for her when she needs you.
