Coworker's wife lost their baby....
Let me please start by saying..I didn't know where to post this.....
The wife of one of my DH's coworkers lost their baby yesterday. My DH and I want to send them something but we don't know what to send...or we want to do something but we don't know what to do.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

I was thinking of posting this on that board...but I didn't want to intrude or sound insenstive.

It's very thoughtful of you. How about a card and a charitable donation?
Things to consider first:
- how far along was she?
- how close is DH to the co-worker and his wife?

My DH thinks she was about 3 months along.
The co-worker is a Veterinarian and my DH is a Licensed Vet Tech. My DH sometimes assists the doctor.

Very sad news. My best friend miscarried early on in her first pregnancy (I didn't even know she was at the time). It's hard to know how to act or what to do in these situations. I'd just send a card saying they are in your thoughts/prayers

That is very thoughtful of you. I think a card is very appropriate. I don't think sending a gift is really necessary, although after my last (3rd) miscarriage, my Dad and stepmom sent me flowers, which really cheered me up.

A nice simple card would suffice in this situation.

From personal experience, a card or simple flowers (if you want to send more) would be more than enough, and very much appreciated.
So sorry about their loss.

Maybe a small arrangement from Edible Arrangements or Fruit Flowers.
