I also agree with what everyone has written so beautifully so far and I agree with all of my heart that you are a wonderful friend to want to help your friend so much during her time of need.
I think that all of the suggestions above are great. The only other thing I wanted to add was that your friend may have a very difficult time again when the baby was due. With her pregnancy being 10 weeks along she certainly had the due date etched in her mind and once she reaches that point it may be very hard for her and having you remember that and recognize that for her may help her feel very validated and loved. Like Kristin said, oftentimes when we are ready to talk our friends think we're certainly doing okay and so they don't want to ask us about the sad event anymore, and in 7 or so months her friends may not recall that this baby was to enter the world. But she'll remember, and she'll appreciate having you there for any needed support. Bless you for wanting to help her. Big hugs, M
