What to say?

My friend from HS just lost her 2.5 month old daughter to SIDS.  I haven't talked to her in a few years and I don't live near her.  What do I say besides tell her she's in my thoughts and prayers? I can't even look at her facebook page without seeing the baby's pictures and bawling.  Heartbreaking.

    Oh gosh. That is beyond heartbreaking. I think it would be fine to just let her know she is in your t&ps.

    How awful! :(   I think letting her know she's in your thoughts is enough. So so sad.

    We have very close friends who lost their daughter to SIDS over 20 years ago, but every time we go to their house see pictures of her, it takes all I have to hold back the tears, especially when Abigail asks, "Is that a princess?" Its incredibly heartbreaking. 

    I think just letting her know she is in your thoughts and prayers will be enough.

    I agree with the others about just offering your T&P's. So very heartbreaking.

    I don't think anything will mean more than offering her your T&P. I just hugged my babies super tight. I cannot imagine.

    I would just offer your thoughts and prayers...I can't imagine anything else would really matter right now, what an awful situation :(  Going to go give my 2.5 month old a huge hug.

    How tragic. Just letting her know that she is in your T&P will let her know that you are thinking of her. No words will be able to take her pain away. I think if you tell her something from the heart, that is fine too. When my brother died, my parents always said that people were worried about saying the wrong thing, but that they said that nothing anyone said could make their grief worse.

    I just held onto my 2.5 month old for an hour after he went to bed because I could not put him down after seeing this post earlier today.  how does this even happen, that is unbelievably heartbreaking.
