I've been sitting here for the last half an hour trying to think of what to write in a card for a friend who's baby died in labour (the umbilical cord was wrapped round his neck)a few days ago. I just can't think, I'm so sad for her and everything seems just so meaningless. The last time I saw her she even told me what his name was going to be and she and her two older children were so excited..and now all I can do is look at my little one and think how lucky I am. Sometimes you just don't realise. I need to let her know how awful I feel for her, but I'm afraid to call her. I don't want her to think that I'm not hurting for her but I'm not sure she would want to speak to me as I have recently had a baby. The last conversation we had about giving birth in the local hospital is still very fresh in my mind and I just can't believe what happened to her. This hasn't helped as I still can't think what to write. His funeral is on Monday.
