How To Congratulate On A New Baby What's The Best Way To Acknowledge The Birth Of A New Baby Who May Not Survive?

What's the best way to acknowledge the birth of a new baby who may not survive? - how to congratulate on a new baby

I have a friend whose wife just delivered a baby girl yesterday. She was born with only half a heart, and it is open heart surgery next week (one of many operations to come, if he survives). I congratulate you that you have a baby, but "Congratulations" does not seem fair. I would send at least one card, but I'm at a loss how I should handle it. Suggestions?

You probably send flowers instead of a simple card with a note explaining: "Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your dear little girl".

However, congratulations to all media. They need the support of friends and family law. Flowers and a card would be good. "Congratulations on your little angel. Our prayers are with you." or should go something like that. Now they have to keep their hopes. If you do, there will always be time to get gifts for the cute baby too soon after. May be, if not, you probably do not want what would have generated a wealth of memories are linked. The main thing is, they are just there for them in their distress

I do want to send a greeting card with a nice (more about that mention only) and write a message that the baby will be beautiful and that God, then you have the strength you need now. Say your prayers are with them.
Be positive that what they want to hear today. Takes note of sympathy and do not send sad.

I would say go with congratulations. Do not give this baby a funeral before he died! They hope that the child's life and what they claim, it should give hope. Let them know they are there to speak and when they need something they can count on you.
