Last week, a friend and former co-worker, lost her baby in the last stages of her pregnancy. She was due on Jack’s birthday. I can only imagine the heartbreak that she must be going through right now.
I’m sure that any mother can tell you that there is a love and an attachment so strong for the baby far before it is born. So even though the baby was never born into this world, I am certain that the pain she is feeling is just as real. You just have to hope that there’s a reason for the way things happen in the world. And in the long run, it’ll all make sense.
So hold your babies tight and thank God for every moment. And if you pray, say a little prayer for her and her family.
Broke my heart into a million pieces to read this post. I can’t even imagine the pain and sadness and anger your friend feels. I will be thinking of her and her family. I’m so very sorry.
I don’t even know what to say. How heartbreaking. I promise to keep her and her family in my thoughts.
That is horrible…and so sad. You wonder why things happen sometimes…I’ll be thinking of them.
You are so right, you love your baby long before they’re here. I’ll be thinking of her and her family!
I can’t even begin to imagine the heartbreak that your friend is going through now. Really, I begin to imagine and it makes me nauseated to consider the magnitude of her loss. I hope that over time she finds the peace she needs to begin to mend her broken heart.
