You are very sweet! Please don't say miscarriage. After 20 weeks gestation, the baby is either a still birth or neonatal death situation... I don't know why I became so sensitive to that, but she might too. I am so sorry for this loss! I appreciated how all of our friends sent cards or flowers or something, it meant a lot. I think the simpler the message, the better. I know it doesn't fill up the card, but the alternative is usually saying too much.
"I am so sorry for your loss, and I will keep you and your baby (use the name if you know it) in my thoughts. My heart goes out to you, please take care of yourselves and don't hesitate to call if you need anything."
What do you think? If you treat this loss as you would the loss of a different close family member like a sibling, it helps. Too often people suggest that "You can have other kids" or "It was God's plan" or all sorts of other things that aren't helpful. Thank you for thinking about this!
(((Hugs))) to the parents! They are not alone!
