Friend had a still birth.....?

One of my closest friends had a stillbirth this morning. her daughter was 31 weeks gestation. She went from a healthy kicking baby to an emergency C-section without baby revival. She is with family but from the phone call from her MIL at 4 this morning she wants me there today. Should I bring flowers? Myself? Bear with me, I haven t gone through this with anyone so I m completely clueless and don t know what to do. I have plans for filling her freezer down the road, but right now....this instant. Just be there? Thanks.

    I'm sorry to hear about this! Take yourself and be there for her emotionally, as best you can. She needs those that love and care for her nearby right now. There will be time for other sentiments down the road.

    Just be with her and listen to what she has to say in a supportive manner. Don't try to cheer her up; just grieve with her.

    Just get there. You can worry about flowers later. Most hospitals have a gift shop.
