My brother and SIL have lost their baby, she was 11 weeks along. I am just so sad for them. I hate that my brother and SIL have to experience this horrible pain that we have all felt. Please keep them in your thoughts as they try to get through all this and especially since it their birthdays today and tomorrow
I want to send something to them, what do I send?
I was thinking something from the Popcorn Factory like some snacks or something or should I send flowers?

So sad to hear about their loss especially so close to their birthdays
I think that a nice heartfelt card would be best. It is simple and you can express how you will be there for them whenever they need you. They might also appreciate some beautiful flowers.
Oh no! I'm so sorry. I just hate to hear when people have to go through this horrible experience. It forever taints your carefree attitude towards TTC and pregnancy.
I agree that a card with some words from your heart would be nice.
I'm so sad to hear this:(
Two of my girlfriends came to visit me shortly after my m/c. They stayed for the weekend and we watched movies, ate pizza, they let me cry... I think that was most helpful for me. One of them brought me a silver baby bean necklace that I wear ALL the time. I always made sure to wear it to appointments when I was pregnant with Lilly too. It's brought me a lot of comfort.
I am so sorry. I know your SIL doesn't know us, but if you feel comfortable sharing this with her, let her know that a whole message board is thinking of her today. I am also glad that she has you- there is nothing more lonely than going through a loss when you don't know anyone else who has experienced it....
I would send her something that helped you when you were going through it. For me, it was a funny book and certain music....you know?
i m so sorry for their loss! they are def in our thoughts!
i would go w/ sending food. i know i didnt much feel like cooking or eating and the best thing anyone did for us was a friend of the family made us dinner every night for a week. it was fabulous. i didnt much care for the flowers people sent, as beautiful and thoughtful as they were b/c they just died too, it really almost made me feel worse having to clean them up and throw them out after a week.
I am so sorry. I was really hoping for a better outcome for their sake, especially so close to their birthdays.
I think that the popcorn and/or a card would be nice.
