Help me with a holiday card greeting for a friend who had a stillbirth in Feb 2006
Hi ladies,
Need your help. I'm sending a friend who had a full-term stillborn in February 2006 a holiday card. Our boys were only supposed to be a few weeks apart. I have talked to her several times throughout the year and always been as sensitive as possible, and she also has told me that I've been kinder to her than anyone else outside of her family.
I would like to send her and her DH a holiday card. Help me write a message. I'm not going to include a pic of DS but want to do more than just sign our names.
here are my thoughts:
"Thinking of you this season and all the time."
"Thinking of your entire family this Christmas." (I know they celebrate Christmas.)
Any other suggestions?
(Even people who knew I was struggling with recurrent losses didn't do anything extra at Christmas or on cards - except, of course, the ladies on SC - so it's important to me that I somehow acknowledge their experience or that I remember their son on this card. )
I would be sure to use his name in the card. I know that for myself...I always appreciate it when people use their names and that they are never forgotten.
I also appreciate it around their birthday that close friends and family remember them too!
You are so sweet and thoughtful!!

Your friend's already remembering her baby. You can't make her feel any worse. This Christmas is the worst one she'll ever have.
I'd just be to the point. I'd say, "Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas. I know how much you must be missing _______. I wish s/he could celebrate with you."
