No, you assumed and insinuated that I have never had a miscarriage.Date: 3/13/2009 10:10:30 AM

Freke, I never insinuated that you didn''t understant these feelings...I simply pointed out that I have been where this woman is and how I felt faced with this horrible reality.
And, if you take a moment and re-read the OP, you''ll see she asked for suggestions...my suggestion was to send flowers, which you called impersonable (btw). I never claimed sending flowers was the perfect sentiment, or the only sentiment, but beautiful arrangements lifted my spirits...it''s what worked for me and I offered the suggestion because it did. Nothing more, nothing less.![]()
It''s like I said...there is no one catch all for expressing sympathy and offering comfort. If there were, then we''d all have a much easier time navigating through these awful moments in life. Some people want flowers, others food or gift certificates or simply a card. There is no such thing as a wrong way of expressing condolence.
And for the record, you made ordering flowers sound like a "just order flowers and get it over with" instead of putting a little thought and effort into it like my friend did.
And thanks for your apology for saying I "looked forward to shopping" when my mom died. I really appreciate that.
Sunnyd, I would like to apologize for all of this mess. I am truly sorry for your FSIL and family''s loss.
