Be there, like you were before anything was wrong. Close friends and family hold treasured memories and funny stories that can be retold to brighten up the mood of a mother who is facing such a tragic time.

Only give medical advice if you are a Dr. or Nurse and it is asked for.

If the mother has accepted what the turn out could possibly be, forcing her to keep praying for a miracle can make her feel like she is un worthy if that miracle was not meant for her baby. You have to be cautious of not what you say but how you say it. So instead of constantly telling her to pray for a miracle or sharing miracle stories with her, just be kind and let her know she’s in your prayers.

To be angry and short is common; please realize that she is facing something that only few understand. If you’ve done nothing to cause her anger, give her some time and come back to her with open arms.

Don’t forget the father and other children involved.

Keeping the mother busy is a good  way to keep her mind off what she is going through. But she must face it at some point and spend time with herself dealing with the wave of emotions. Keep that in mind when it seems she never wants to hang out

Find out where the mother is emotionally with the whole thing. If she is ok with talking then ask her as many questions as she allows, but if she’s still a bit upset then offering her whatever support she needs is fine. You can always use http://www.google.com/ for information.

 This woman is still pregnant if carrying to term, treat her that way. Give up your seat, don’t ask her to help you move the couch, don’t offer her a beer. Her biggest goal is getting as much time with her baby in the womb. A fatal condition does not give you the ok to be negligent

Remember that flowers although very beautiful, die shortly after being given to a family that just had a baby that died, this could be hard. Consider giving a plant or tree that the family can actually take care of and watch grow, in memory of their angel.
