Evening PJ
Why are you feeling shit?

My best friend and his missus just lost their baby
I'm feeling that guilt you get when you have two perfectly healthy kids and your mate just lost his.

Have they tried looking where they last saw it?
That sometimes works for me

That sucks.
I saw a documentary about someone who'd lost their baby and they ended up stealing another child. It was gripping.

It was set in the Eastend of London.

I went through something similar about 18 months ago
when one of my best friends lost a baby. Full term, we nearly lost our friend too. Despite having no kids of my own, I did feel a bit guilty. There was just no way of knowing what to say.
It's one of teh reasons I went for this bungee jump - because the charity involved was a cot-death charity.

I just told them that I'm here day or night if they need me and to let me know
didn't know what else to say really, poor buggers

There really isn't anything you can say.
I just sent them a letter saying as honestly as I could what I felt and offering any help I could. Then I follwed it up with a long phone call a couple of days later. I guess the main advice I can give is don't avoid them, don't pretend that baby didn't exist, and be prepared to give them a lot of room for irrational behaviour for a while.

Won't be a problem
He's my best mate, As long as there's beer we won't avoid each other

Yeah, my pal's in Glasgow, so I don't get to see her that often.
You (and they) have my sympathy.
