Question

i lost a baby not too long ago and my friend who lives in another state just had a baby. how do I write a congratulations note? I am still grieving.

I need a sample of congratualtions note.

my friend doesn't know I lost a baby and I want her to know.

Answer 1

I'm so sorry about your baby. I would say something like "Even in my time of sorrow, I can' help but feel joy for you. I hope your baby is everything you expected and more, and thank you for being there for me through my loss."
I know this has to be really had for you, and I sure your friend knows how you must feel. If it were me I would understand getting a card that just said congradulations I love you.

Answer 2

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm a mother too and my sister just lost her baby a couple of days ago. She loves the Lord so that has given her and her husband peace through this horrible time.
I also just had a baby and I would totaly undertand if my sister would feel the way you do. I think if your friend and is a good one then she will understand if you don't write her an elaborate congratulations note. I agree with those folks above who say that you should just send a simple card. Perhaps one that has a message already and all you have to do is sign it with love from you.

Answer 3

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. This must be an extreamly difficult time for you. But as I assume you did not wish your friend to go through the same grief, you must be happy that her Pregnancy turned out okay. Express that too her, in what ever way you feel comfortable. It could go something like this.


Dear (friend),
Congratulations on your new baby. It must be a great joy to have such a blessing in your life. Please take this note as a heartfelt expression of my joy at your newest arrival. May the time to come be filled with joy for you and those around you.
God Bless
(your name)

Answer 4

I understand the pain that comes with a loss of losing a baby, and how hard it is too be happy for someone who has just been blessed. Go to your local store pick up a simple Congrats card and sign it. Don't fell that it's necessary to write a long winded note of elation to your friend. They will be understanding of how hard even picking up the simple card was.

Answer 5

Do it graciously and quickly.

Her joy and new baby doesn't take away from your grief and loss. In the same way, your loss shouldn't take away from her joy. The tragedy of your loss will help you to see the value and preciousness of her new gift. Celebrate with her. Likewise, as she is experiencing her new child, she will better understand your grief.

Write her a brief, genuine note letting her know that you are excited for her and with her and reminding her what a wonderful gift she has.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss!

Blessings to you.

Answer 6

I think if you don't want to say anything just sign a card that congratulates her. Even if you don't send her a card at all, she should understand your situation. I know this doesn't help but I'm sorry for your loss and I know what you're going through. Feel free to email me if you want to talk about it.

Answer 7

I don't think you should tell her right now - it won't make either of you feel better. Just send a hallmark card and sign it - keep it simple. In a month or two give her a call and you can discuss everything else in your lives.

Answer 8

Congratulating your friend takes nothing from your grief. I feel terrible for anyone that experiences a loss like that but don't let it get in the way of your friends joy. A similiar situation happened to my wife and me. We got pregnant when her cousin had been trying for 8 years. She felt horrible telling them but they were great and told us one had nothing to do with the other. Be happy for your friend and grieve for yourself, all will workout in the end.

Answer 9

its going to be very hard, i understand where ur coming from the same thing happened to me. but you cant let it get you down my mother has always told me that god had a reason for your baby
congratulate her in ur own way it will hurt but, she probably will be happy. i mean its gonna hurt like hell, but one day you will be happy again and then think back at that time and say im so glad i congratulated her.

Answer 10

im useful its as a results of fact of all the excellent smelling products, yet i understand they scent sturdy in the past products to! im guessing its like that ditingushied scent that your having along with your sibling with there sparkling cells and that? im no longer fullyyt useful however. I kinda positioned this to cows lol, whilst a cow supplies beginning it smells the calf plenty and starts off licking off the after beginning to bathe it off. It additionally eats its sac(like the placenta) whilst that comes out the mummy of the toddler or anyother cow will consume it as a results of fact they like the scent and it has a ton of nutrients in it for them!
