If you don't know what to say, a hug or a handhold is a good choice. They may tell you they can't handle it right that second, but it shows love.
I also added in what not to do, i.e. ignore the parents, disappear from their lives and when you see them pretend like the loss never happened and like the baby did not exist. When someone you love is going through this much pain, how could you NOT support them? Even with something as easy as a phone call or text to check in on them once in awhile or to tell them you are thinking of them and their child.
After losing a child, what parents need the most is LOVE.
