I need ideas for a care package for a friend who just had a baby & lost her mother all in the same week.?

A very close friend of mine just had a baby on the 24th and lost her mother to cancer less than a week later. She just found out about the cancer in December, so this is all very sudden. To top it off, she had to have a c-section, so she couldn%26#039;t even get to the hospital to visit her, because she herself was still in the hospital. They were best friends, and I don%26#039;t know how she%26#039;s going to cope with all that%26#039;s on her plate right now, especially with her #1 supporter having passed away.


Any ideas for a great care package filled with goodies to cheer her up will be WONDERFUL!


So far, I have things like, flowers, her favorite foods, tissues... but I need more.


She loves pink, she%26#039;s 32, she%26#039;s girly, but not foo -foo frilly..


She has to take care of baby, AND take care of all the arrangements. Any ideas to help get her through would be great...


Thanks to all!

The best thing to get her is you and your friendship with her....Being there with her helping anyway you can ...Be There!!


If she has any other family with her would help deal with the emotional road she%26#039;s going to be on for a very long time....Sometimes this will take years...What will be helpful is a written story of her and her Mom....Having notebooks and Pens in nice stylish decoration would be nice......Even if she doesn%26#039;t feel like writing right now...There will be times when she is watching the baby sleep...Her mind will fill with thoughts of her mom....and her growing up as a child...And the special things she will always have with her...Her memories of all the things her and her mom shared....There will be a moment when she want her baby to know and share all of these things....So these note books will someday be important to her.....Does she have a camera to take lots of pictures of the baby as it grows....Is she into scrap booking??


Are there things that She did with her Mom that she can continue to share with her baby??....If you can think of things Her Mom would do for her...now that the baby is here??....Buy her things you would know her Mom would do for her...Help her take care of as many of the arrangements for her as possible....The more you take off of her the better she will be able to deal with it.....Get as many of her friends as you can to help...especially if she doesn%26#039;t have any family around her....Stay with her as much as possible....She%26#039;s going to have a lot of ups and downs.....She want be getting much sleep....She%26#039;ll be needing people with her day and night for a while....Being There is a great thing to give her!!
