Sunday, two weeks ago, a friend of ours lost his 2 month old granddaughter to "crib death". He was devastated. The next day, my husband came home from work and said that a guy he works with needed prayer badly.... because his wife accidentally ran over their 2 year old baby girl. The funeral was a few days ago. Then, two days later, on Wednesday, I found out that my cousin's 3 year old granddaughter drowned. They rushed her to the hospital, where she was on life support but her little body just gave up. Today, I got a text from our pastor. A granddaughter of a friend of ours gave birth to triplets. Two were stillborn. The third lived an hour and then was lost. The funeral is tomorrow.
I'm just so sad.... all these babies in just over one week. Not aborted "throw-away" babies, those are heartbreaking enough. But these were all loved, cherished, wanted babies. And now they're all gone.
I just hurt for all those mothers and daddys and grandparents with empty arms. This isn't the kind of post that encourages replies. It's just cathartic for me, I think, to type it out. I'm just trying to work through it.
😢
so very sorry.
So sorry - so much sadness. Toy
How do you respond? That's just terrible. :cry:

:sad:
Sometimes, the shorter the life, the more difficult to accept.
Typing IS cathartic and I think most every poster here will help you work out the pain if it helps.
Feel better my friend.
Thank you guys, all of you..... I know that we all have experienced loss or sometimes just heartsickness. It helps to have an outlet like this where we can express our sadness. This forum is a good, safe place; it means a lot to be part of it. ❤️️

We're glad you're here.
I've found that, over the decades, Gods plan works extremely well, for without pain, one cannot measure pleasure.
Love wouldn't matter if not butted against hate, and for life to have meaning, we must experience all of it, the good and the bad.
Not a day has gone by that I have not thought about your post. I feel for you and hope you can find some comfort soon.
Thank you all for just letting me vent this. It did help. :smile:

I think this is why this is called the The Living Room.
It's a safe place to vent when it is needed. My good wife lets me go outside on our 380 acres and vent every now and then.
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Matthew 19:14
We cry with tears of joy and weep with tears of pain.
May God's love comfort you.
