How do you comfort someones brother without making it more painful? I want to say just the right thing but every word I think of and write is quickly deleted. maybe silence is best?
I know what you mean, you want to say so much- but It doesnt come out the way you want it. Or you dont feel it says how truly sorry you are... I know exactally. Our friends lost their full term baby a week and a half ago, and I couldnt express my feelings. But I think its important to try.. they need all the support in the world. Especially weeks from now when others go on with their lives and they are still left with the pain and sorrow. I think you can never be TOO supportive.
I agree, it is hard, but just as Tiff said you can never be too supportive. The time will come when they want to talk about it and need a listening ear too. Never try to avoid talking about Craig though - he will always be an important part of their lives, memories and family forever. You are the best Mandee!
