What should I sent to a family who lost a newborn son?

Question

I gave birth to a preemie baby girl. She has been in NICU for 3 months and has shared a room with a little boy. He passed away on Tuesday. His parents have been a big strength to me and my family. I want to send the family something personalized but I don't know what to send. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

a sympathy card or cook them a nice casserole or a pan of lasagna. ring their door bell and leave it on their front porch with your card so you dont disturb them.

Answer 2

Wow thats a hard one...

I would depending on your bond with these people, and because they son shared a room with your daughter...Id ask them to be a permanent member of your family, like God-Parents. I am sure that would be very touching to them, and the most thing you can give them if your love and your strength in return for their lost.

God Bless you and your daughter... I am very sorry for their lost, a lost I can never wish on anyone.

Answer 3

I would send a card expressing your feelings of thankfulness for their help and sadness for their loss. And let them know you are thinking of them. Something, in honor of their son would be nice to I think.

Answer 4

maybe a memory box with the baby's name and birth date on it to put some keepsakes in.  

Answer 5

I think a donation to a preemie-charity like March Of Dimes with a heartfeltletter would be appropriate.

And let them know that you are praying for them, and pray for them whenever their little boy crosses your mind.

Answer 6

this has brought tears to my eyes. i dont know what religion you guys are, but if it were me, i would send them a deep and personal letter, let them know you will say a prayer for them and the baby, and send a rosary. prayer is very powerful and has helped me get through alot of hard times. im sorry for the loss and good luck with your own baby. i will be saying a prayer for all of you.

Answer 7

I think a card with a personal message would be very appropriate.

You could also make a donation in the boy's honor to a charity that helps preemies.

What a sad situation.
