She's crying really hard. How can I cheer her up? I tried to comfort her making her laugh, but it didn't work. Is there anything else I can do? Reply to this Question

Support her to turn to her mother and the father of the child as both will be grieving the tremendous loss of child and grandchild and all need to come together now at this terrible time. Send flowers or take a meal over with a note, she may not want to have company yet and should not be pressured to socialize.

Maybe there is someone you know who has been through it and can share with her how they managed and who can really relate or you can just listen and empathize without expecting her to be a certain way like cheerful.
