A good friend of mine just lost a baby. It was only 4 days until her due date, so its awful. She went in for an appointment and there was no heartbeat. They determined that the baby had died, probably within just a day or so. Today, she is being induced and has to give birth to her dead baby. She has very little family, and they arent close. Her fiancee isnt close with his family either. This is the second child HE has lost, because his ex wife had a stillborn too. We are their only close friends. I know its going to be really hard. She has a 4 year old with her ex husband, and her fiancee has two sons with his ex wife. This was going to be their first child together. I know there is really nothing I can do or say to make them feel better, and that they have to grieve, but what is something my husband and I can do for them as friends? We've offered to take her daughter when/if they ever need a break, and said that we are here for them if they need anything.
