I just heard from my sister-in-law about a family friend of hers who lost their little girl this morning. The mother was in the midst of labor when they couldn't find the baby's heartbeat. By the time they got her to an operating room for an emergency c-section, it was too late. The umbilical cord was wrapped around the little girl's neck twice, and Grace couldn't be saved. Today, God has another beautiful angel.
After participating in that walk over the weekend for pregnancy and infant loss, I know well how many people in our own communities are struggling with the unexplained death of a child. While there are no good answers, I hope everyone can find the time to lift a prayer up to God for this baby girl's safe arrival at the gates of Heaven, and to hug your own child a little closer tonight and thank Him for the miracle of a healthy baby.
I don't even know what to say...I am so sad to read this post. We are praying tonight for this family.
Hearts are heavy and prayers are long. Thanks for sharing so that we may all pray.
Yeah, I totally did NOT need to see this post today...thanks for making me even more paranoid about what's to come for me very soon! Seriously though, I am so sorry to hear of their loss. That's just awful. I sure hope I can always say "I can't imagine what that's like to go through."
