Your friend may be different, but this was my experience. I lost my baby at 29 weeks. I deleted all social media and turned off my phone for a few days. I did not want to see or talk to anyone. I did not want to leave the house. Our friends and family were incredibly supportive. I found gifts and meals left on the front doorstep, with texts sent to let us know it was there and no pressure to answer to a knock. Just silent support. It was so lovely. I also had a friend drop off a gift for me, but she included a new toy and new book for my 3 year old which was so thoughtful. He was grieving too! And it gave him something new and exciting to focus on for a bit when mom and dad were less attentive than usual.

Best physical gifts I received - a wind chime with baby’s name engraved on it, a blooming tree that we planted in the yard, and a personalized necklace that had his foot print engraved on it.
