Help- Do I get a mothers day gift to a mourning friend?

Using a throwaway account for privacy reasons

The situation is as follows:

My best friend got unexpectedly pregnant by her boyfriend, we are barely adults and it was her first and only pregnancy so there arent any other kids in the picture. She ended up not giving birth but she still wanted that baby and it had taken a toll on her mental health. She is mouring the loss of her child and what could have been had things wents differently.

With the mothers day coming up in my country I thought giving her a small meaningfull gift could help make her feel better and reaffirm that her grief to losing a child is valid but at the same time I see that it could be very damaging and hurtfull instead.

So what do you think? Are there any women that went through a simmilar situation and what would you feel when recieving such a gift ? Also if I should get her something any ideas on what could it be?
