My friend had has a 8 month old who is very sick and may not make it (live). I just had my baby and want to comfort her but don't want her to feel like I am bragging or showing off about my child. How can a new mother help and season one with an older childs death????

that is very hard gina and no way around it one of best friends in town.....shes much older than me, she lost her son at birth and I always feel guilty w/ my kids around her, but it's something that they'll in time have to get used to, you can't hide your child out because of their misfortune. I do however try to be extra sensitive on days such as mothers day and I never send her emails meant for moms.

That is such a difficult position to be in. All you can do is be supportive and help her in any way you can. Just try to be sensitive to her situation. You can't hide your child from her, obviously, and I don't think she would expect that. Find out from her what you can do, and plainly ask her what would be helpful and what would be off limits. Other than that just be there for her.

Cook her something and go visit without mention of your kids or anything.. Try to make it all about her right now...

I think the best thing that there is to do is to tell her that you are there for her and if she needs anyone to talk to or help her with anything that you are there.i would lay back on talking about your baby a little bit because i know that has to be hard on her.my sister gave birth to a little boy that was sick for a while no one knew if he was going to make it or not but i just held on to her and told her i was there and it helped her out alot
