Friend has just had a stillbirth at 35 weeks. She has COVID. How do I help her..

She is in shock at this time. It is not about what you say. Be there for her. She may need to cry. She may want to be held. She may be angry. Ask her what you can do for her right now and then in the days and nights to come. Take it slowly and with love. This is heart wrenching. If she is religious, she may want to speak with her support. Ask her if you can call anyone for her too. She may want to be alone. Go with what she wants and love her. She may not want to eat even. Be her best friend like you are. Blessings.

Nothing you say can make her feel better, don't agonize over finding the right words. Just tell her that you're sorry for what she's been through and you'll be there if she needs you. Maybe gently invite to hang out together, and cook her some foods if you want to provide further support. Doing normal things under abnormal circumstances can feel insurmountable.

I'm not sure if saying much is what's needed. I do think listening and being present is though. Sad story. I'm sorry.

I don’t really know, Just be there…

We went through that. We named him Shawn. Had a service for him but the body was analyzed for why but no reason was found for the failure. Had Nick a year and a half later. He's 33 now. It just happens. Nothing to do but weep and hug each other.

How do you help? You listen.. Thats all there is to be done..There is nothing you have to show undewrstanding. There is nothing you have of your own to share. You just listen so she knows her anguish is heard. 😷

I’m so sorry. All you can really do is be there for her. This is when folks most need their friends to rally around them.
Best wishes. 🥺

There’s nothing you can say to make her feel better. I think just being there for her would be the best comfort you could give her.
