I wear it everyday and it makes me feel so much better because I know even though small that baby was important! I ordered it from etsy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friend-at-12-weeks#post-2536162 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 14:51:53 +0000 mamabolt 2536162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a gift basket with bath products and wine from my close girlfriends which was lovely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friend-at-12-weeks#post-2536094 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 13:47:59 +0000 Miss Ariel 2536094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not quite the same, but when my mom was dying a friend sent me a box of gourmet caramel apples. I can't say I've ever had something similar delivered before and they were delicious. It was kind of nice seeing my them unexpected arrive and helped take my mind off everything going on in a way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friend-at-12-weeks#post-2536084 Thu, 28 Apr 2016 13:41:41 +0000 janeybee 2536084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: This is EXACTLY how I felt. The fact that my friend who was closest to me completely ignored what I was going through added so much to the pain I was feeling. I'm still not over it. All I needed was a hug and maybe her asking if I was okay - I think I would have received more love and care if I had said I had the flu... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friend-at-12-weeks#post-2491805 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 10:36:56 +0000 erinbaderin 2491805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I had a miscarriage my friend sent me a box of chocolate covered strawberries. It was a lovely thought but I couldn't eat them - they felt somehow like tragedy-food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friend-at-12-weeks#post-2491775 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 10:24:15 +0000 Crystal 2491775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I miscarried at 12 weeks, I received a comfort package of an adult coloring book, some colored pencils, ice cream, Gatorade, a puzzle, and a few restaurant gift cards. I liked the junk food, and the gift cards for takeout were nice so we didn't have to cook while I was recovering from surgery and grieving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friend-at-12-weeks#post-2491769 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 10:21:01 +0000 Tanjowen 2491769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Best gift was my parents and DH taking over everything and I stayed in bed for 2 days to recover, cry and take time to grieve. Other than that it was good delivered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friend-at-12-weeks#post-2491759 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 10:15:18 +0000 snowjewelz 2491759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:crying: I am so sorry for your friend. Must have been so heartbreaking esp when she's finishing up 1st trimester. Maybe a gift certificate for mani/pedi if she's into it? Might be good to just get her out of the house and do something for herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friend-at-12-weeks#post-2491747 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 10:10:52 +0000 catlady 2491747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing I've ever received were chocolates, which I really appreciated. Honestly, all I ever really wanted after miscarrying was for people to give me a hug and tell me that they they were sorry for my loss. It's amazing how people can't even seem to do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friend-at-12-weeks#post-2491739 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 10:05:12 +0000 LulaBee 2491739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't receive anything when I miscarried, but when I had a stillbirth people brought meals, snacks, beer, and a massage gift certificate. Comfort food and chocolate were nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friend-at-12-weeks#post-2491735 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 10:02:57 +0000 LuLu Mom 2491735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend confided in me that she had a miscarriage at 12 weeks last weekend. She is also our photographer and was supposed to take 1 year pictures for us so she obviously needed to cancel. My heart breaks for her, we rescheduled our pictures for next week and I want to give her a little something. What is the best thing you received? </p>
