My sister in law has had a still born baby.?

My sister in law went into labour last night, but unfortunately, due to complications, the baby died.


I have never seen eye to eye with my sister in law, but my heart goes out to her at this time.


What should I do. She is still in hospital at the moment and I do not think she is up to visitors. Would it be ok to send her flowers along with a card saying how sorry we are and that if she needs anything, we are here!


I have never had to do this sort of thing before so am not sure what is appropriate.

The flowers and a card are a nice gesture. It will be a difficult time for her, so don%26#039;t be hurt if you do not hear from her for awhile.
Reply:drop her a card in life is too short and she will be in so much greif and pain she will be happy to know you were there. put issues aside and you may find a real friend in each other. god bless.
Reply:Flowers would be nice, with a card that says thinking of you with love and prayers and a short visit a little later, don%26#039;t talk much during the visit, just give her a kiss on the forehead and let her know you love her and quietly go. That would mean more than anything, to know her family was there for support. She probably doesn%26#039;t want to hear a lot of %26quot;sorry for your loss%26quot;, just a caring smile and a hug can be comforting.
Reply:comfort her as much as you can but she might want to be left alone for a while my heart goes out to her %26amp; hubby xxx
Reply:Oh I’m so sorry to hear about that. How heartbreaking! Not that it matters, but was this their first?





Flowers and a card are nice, but I also think during times like these, helping in other ways is just as nice. I know she’s probably numb and kind of depressed at the moment and won’t want to do anything for a while. (I assume) Helping around the house, or cooking meals and freezing them for her to eat later on…sometimes that helps so much more. I know right now it’s early, and flowers and a card should be fine, but ask later down the road when a little time has passed if you can help in other ways.





I’m so sorry for their loss!!
Reply:I am so sorry...the best thing you can do is send her and your brother a card that expresses how you feel. Call your brother and ask if there is anything you can do at their home before your sister-in-law is released from the hospital. Let her know you are there for her if she needs you but she may not take you up on your offer. Don%26#039;t be offended, she may be dealing with this in her own way.
Reply:Sorry to hear about your SIL. Yes but perhaps wait until she is home to send them. Even though you have not seen eye to eye with her be there for her. She is going to need it.





Good luck!
Reply:You should absolutely reach out to her during this time. A card with a personal note and a flower arrangement or a plant is perfect. Reach out to your brother too. He has had the same loss as his wife with the added helpless fear that he possibly could have lost her too. Embrace them both and offer your support. Both of them are part of your family. Love them as such.
Reply:SORRY FIR THE LOST ...ITS SO SAD....PLEASE SHE WILL FEEL APPRECIATED FOR FLOWERS AND CARD..ITS FINE
Reply:I went through the same thing as you 8 months ago. My Sister-In-Law lost her baby at 19 weeks.





Show your grief to her and your sorrow. Send her flowers and tell her how sorry you are for her and your brothers loss. The pain that they are going through is heart breaking to stand and see. Be strong for them and do what they say when they need it.





I went over to there house and cleaned up for them, like getting some of the baby books off the coffee table and little things like that. Go out and get her some yummy food, since hospital food tastes like dog food.





I am sorry for your loss also. Everyone int he family will be heartbroken and it takes time and tender loving care.





Our little Isaac has a memorial web site that we all go to and we post messages to him and to help Mommy %26amp; Daddy with the grieving process.
