How would you comfort someone?

I just found out a woman I know had an ectopic pregnancy and surgery because of it.  How would you comfort her?  They are far away, so besides sending a card, is there anything else you would send?

    I don't know the right answer, but sometimes a simple "I'm here if you need to talk" would suffice.   This isn't the same, but when Natalie was in NICU and we had no idea what would happen, my friends would call just to say they were thinking of us and that we were in their prays - that meant a lot.

    I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I think every woman/couple handles this type of pain in different ways. Do you know of anything that she really loves a particular kind of flower, chocolate, etc?

    How well do you know her? I would call her and just let her know that she is in your thoughts and if she needs to talk, let her. When I lost people close to me this kind of thing was the most meaningful.

    I would just send a card and let her know that you are there if she needs anything, even just to talk. That way she doesn't have to talk about it if it is too painful but she knows you're there if she needs anything.
