I don't know them, lol!). They write about how they lost their triplet daughter. Like PP said, from what they've written, when people acknowledge her they seem especially happy. Maybe something for Mom, and a little something for baby (whether or not you know her name). Packet of forget me nots, something that'll bloom a certain time every year, etc? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-of-condolences#post-50546 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 19:13:21 +0000 MsMini 50546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a card with a heartfelt note would be really all that is needed, but chocolate, edible arrangements, massages or anything like that would be really appreciated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-of-condolences#post-50541 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:56:03 +0000 MegWag 50541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a friend with a similar experience and she found it really helpful when people actually acknowledged what had happened, rather than dancing around it. The loss of her (very real to her) child was brushed under the rug by lots of friends, rather than directly addressed. I hope your friend is doing ok and that the other baby makes it to term and has a healthy delivery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-of-condolences#post-50496 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:14:30 +0000 heffalump 50496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my culture we always send food when someone passes away. Maybe edible arrangements? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-of-condolences#post-50467 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 16:35:21 +0000 polkadots 50467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>maybe a massage (if allowed) or pedi gift card something so she can have some "me" relaxing time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-of-condolences#post-50462 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 16:27:31 +0000 chopsuey 50462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah. I agree with @red. Flowers or food and a card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-of-condolences#post-50456 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 16:23:45 +0000 Red 50456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can't go wrong with flowers and some type of food (chocolates, tea, cookies, etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-of-condolences#post-50443 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 16:15:58 +0000 mrsjyw 50443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently found out through one of my Sunday school students that my old high school calc teacher (a teacher who impacted my life - following @mr.bee's spinoff post!).... lost one of her twin babies in the second trimester. </p> <p>I wanted to send her a note of condolences and a gift through my Sunday school student (who is now her current student.) But, didn't have any idea of what might be a good gift during such a time of grief. Thankfully her baby boy is still healthy, but I know that that doesn't lessen the pain of losing her baby girl.</p> <p>Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! </p>
