she was due next month and she has a toddler at home.  Do you think an eddible arrangements would be good.  I figured it would be a great snack for all of them.  Flowers are nice but I imagine she is probably getting plenty of them.

OMG, I'm so sorry.  How terrible! 

An edible arrangement seems too "cheery" to me...but then again, I can't picture it.  I"m thinking like those cookie bouquets.  Is it a fruit thing?  I think any kind of food or a meal would be appreciated.

I think an edible arrangement would be better than flowers. Food is always good in a tough time.

That's so sad. I can't even imagine.

ETA: Yeah, I think I would choose fruit, or maybe a GC to a restaurant they could get takeout from. I'm sure bringing them a meal would be greatly appreciated, if you cook.

I agree that the edible arrangement is a better option than flowers.  After my m/c, it made me angry to see the flowers that people had sent (even though I know intentions were absolutely the best). Every time I looked at the flowers they made me cry & I would think "I should have a baby, not some damn flowers!"

Great idea!

I think an edible arrangement is a great idea.  Maybe add a little care package of crayons and coloring books or some other activity for her toddler.  I'm sure the entire family must be hurting right now and the fruit would really show that you are thinking of their child as well.
