I agree with what some people said, they might want to grieve privately, but maybe if you drop off a card and something small like flowers or cookies to their home that would definitely be appropriate. Then if it sends them into tears (which it would for me) they don`t have to try to cover it up at work where they feel they need to be professional. But it is so great to let her know that you care about her, I`m sure whether said or unsaid she will always appreciate it. :)

I`ve been on both sides of the coin. I think the best bet is to send either or both to the home so it doesn`t bring the subject to the surface and force a conversation about it. It respects their space but shows you really care- which goes a long way.

When I had a miscarriage I got a week off of work.. my boss gave me a few extra days as her way of saying `sorry for your loss`.. honestly, it just depends on the person. I wouldn`t like it if anyone brought me flowers or a card. I`m the type who just wants to be left alone and only wants to be comforted by those who are very close to me (husband, mom, sisters).. If it were me and this were a real situation I would just say.. I`m sorry and if you know her real well and know she`s the type who wears her heart on her sleeve then maybe flowers or a card would be appropriate. I guess it just depends on your relationship with this person and how you think she`d react...

I would definitely at least give a card. Let her know she is in your thoughts.

At another place I worked, everyone was really close. When one of us had a miscarriage, everyone knew and really wanted to help her through it. Her experience inspired her to make a room at the hospital dedicated to her daughter, where mothers could go to grieve. We had a big teddy bear donation, to give to the moms who leave the hospital alone. I think she felt it honored her child, and that she wasn`t going through it alone.
