My sister and her husband, loving parents of my 2 year-old niece, have just found out (yesterday) that they miscarried the second child, who was 9 weeks into development. I don't think flowers are the appropriate thing to send (although they may be, but I don't want to go that route). What are some suggestions for something else I can send her? All ideas are appreciated. Thank you.

I think just a card would be good, also, a hug. there are no words to make someone feel better about it so please dont try to tell her that she will be OK or that it was meant to be. and dont say that she can always have more kids

I just recently sent a friend who miscarried a shawl i crocheted and a card. Telling her that the shawl was to hug her with all my love and best wishes at this sad time with all the hope that she and her hubby would have another to fill the empty space one day when they were ready. She is a crocheter as well so i added some yarn and a patternbook that she couldn't get where she lives and some chocolate and some teabags and some nice perfume. Just so she knew I loved her and was thinking about her.

I sent flowers to a close friend in that situation. The card said that Im so sorry for your loss, and that Im hear to talk. Kept the flowers real simple, white and lavendar, kind of a peaceful looking arrangement. If you google on miscarriage there are also sites with tips on what to say and what not to say.

That is so sad, the best think you could send her your love. Just be the shoulder she wants to cry on, just be there whenever she needs you, and always encourage her.
God does everything for a reason, the next time she's pregnant she could have twins! God knows what he's doing
Hope i helped!

How about finding a poem of love and support and send it to her in a card...it wold mean the world to her to know you are thinking of her, also just let her know 24hrs a day you are there for her during this grieving process.
Best wishes to you and your family

When I had a m/c I planted a tree in my baby's honor. It's so wonderfull to see it grow and blossom. I think this is a very soothing thing for my husband and I.
I would offer to do something of that nature!

I think I would just send a card to her. Write something personal and from your heart inside.

⥠I'm sorry that your sister miscarried. Thats always a hard situation. I'd probably go with a little basket of stuff to pamper herself.... such as a bathset, with candles, a magazine to read, etc. That way she can relax without anything being pushed onto her. :-)
