Dear Lizzie,

I am so so very sorry to hear of your family's loss.  Gosh, five months along, your daughter-in-law, must have had to even experience some type of "delivery".  I know you had all emotionally attached yourselves to this child and I am just so very sorry - I don't know what to say.  I have two grandbabies due in the next two months and I know that I would be devastated (not to mention my daughters) if any complications arose.  Well, you and your family are in my prayers Lizzie, just as they are with so many here on the forum.

Love, Cindy

  I think it's part of the grief process and your just looking for answers I  know what a 5 month old fetus looks like and that must have been awful for you, I would have done the same thing.  It's a process I'm sure you know because your a great lady and bad things happen tp good people .  There a book with that title written by a priest, I'm not religious but it helped me with the loss of a normal child that requires total care for the rest of his life, but death that must be so hard . I'm so so sorry for your loss can't imagine.Your son and his wife may need councelling something like this is very hard on the marriage. I've seen in in the special care nursery where my son lived for 6months. I  saw a lot of empty cribs in there on a weekly basis, life is bloody hard and very painful sometimes.

   Can't imagine the pain you are all feeling.  I'm so sorry, specially at 5 months thats cruel.  Nature is very cruel.  Personally I think things happen for no reason at all thats what folks said to me when my child was born severly disable.  I beleive things just happen and grief is a huge part of life it's hard to see any reason for that when your suffering such a loss My heart goes out to you and your son and his wife.  God bless you all.  Blue.

I am so very sorry for your loss.  After losing my parents and nephew, I came to realize that God has his plan for us - whether he takes us home sooner or later - it's in his hands.  I know how devastating this loss is - your 'hopes' and 'future' have been dashed.  I hope very sincerely you can find a place where you can find peace.  Marie
