I need ideas for a care package for a friend who just had a baby & lost her mother all in the same week.?

A very close friend of mine just had a baby on the 24th and lost her mother to cancer less than a week later. She just found out about the cancer in December, so this is all very sudden. To top it off, she had to have a c-section, so she couldn't even get to the hospital to visit her, because she herself was still in the hospital. They were best friends, and I don't know how she's going to cope with all that's on her plate right now, especially with her #1 supporter having passed away.


Any ideas for a great care package filled with goodies to cheer her up will be WONDERFUL!


So far, I have things like, flowers, her favorite foods, tissues... but I need more.


She loves pink, she's 32, she's girly, but not foo -foo frilly..


She has to take care of baby, AND take care of all the arrangements. Any ideas to help get her through would be great...


Thanks to all!

FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy Flowersim sorry to her about your friends loss. I too just had a baby and what has helped me the most is someone there to help cook and clean. also, i had really bad baby blues. make sure there is someone with your friend all the time, i never asked for help but when i was alone it was horrible. Offer to help dont wait for her to ask.


As for gifts... i like the idea of a journal or books on CD. She wont have too much time to sit down and read. I listen to mine while in traffic or driving the baby to sleep. maybe an hour massage or pedicure/manicure. You should do something that is for her since she will be doing so much for others right now. good luck.
Reply:Wow, I'm sorry for your friend's loss. You know your friend best, but whatever trinkets you decide, I would wrap them and tell her open them when she needs a pick-me up. Maybe a journal? or a book of her liking, a good, funny, movie, coupons to call on you to talk, or help with the baby. pictures that might make her smile? Good luckgenealogy mormon
