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

After years of trying and finally getting pregnant my best friend just messaged me saying she’s just had a stillbirth at 35 weeks, today. She just found out an hour ago. She has COVID and she hadnt felt it move.. she was so far along. Then couldn’t find a heartbeat. What do I say to her. Any experiences or anyone comfortable with sharing?

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.
