How to help a friend

Veronica

Hi all. First off, I just want to say that I don't mean any offence by posting this topic in this group, please let me know if it's not appropriate.

A dear friend of mine just messaged us this morning to let us know they lost their baby. They were almost 10 weeks. It's been a hard road for them, a few years of trying, then seeking fertility treatments. This was the second round of <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>.

I don't know what I can do to help. As much as I can imagine it's heartbreaking, I personally haven't experienced this so don't want to say I know what it's like. I don't know what to say or what to do. I feel like saying "let me know if you need anything" falls short. Can anyone offer any advice? I was planning on messaging her again tomorrow just to let her know I'm thinking of them, but that I don't expect a reply. I don't want to intrude on their grieving, but I also don't want her to think I've forgotten about her.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions you might have 😊
