Nobody should ever have to outlive their own children.

[Satoshi]

I have realized losing somebody is kind of the saddest stuff in the

whole life because it makes me really want to shed tears when I've

got to hear your beloved ones were gone to the heaven. May they

rest in peace happily. That is what I want to hope for.

Pete, as many others have said, I also recall the excitement you had when you learned of your child's conception. My prayers were with you from day one, and they continue to be with you, your wife, and all your family. I'm so sorry to hear of this sad news.

I understand very well what you're going through. Many years ago my aunt gave birth to a little girl. Her crown did not develop during the pregnancy. As a result, the child died during birth. The same traumatic experience happened to her oldest daughter about year or so ago. Fortunately for my cousin the child lived long enough for her to hold it in her arms (the one wish she wanted before the baby died). Words are a loss for me at such times. I never know what I can say that has not already been said. I pray that your period of sadness will pass quickly. Both my aunt and cousin were blessed with healthy babies after their ordeal, and I hope the same will happen to you.

As I said when I first posted this news, all of you are like a second family to me, so sharing this with you and hearing your kind thoughts and words has been like therapy for me and my wife. Aside from the coasters, rodents, buffets, donkeys, beer, Fakeland, videos, fanboys, and Yeti Ball, my TPR family has stepped up to show me that, yes, there really is good left in the world, even when I don't feel it...especially when I don't feel it. Those select few of you out there that have been here know exactly what I mean.

 

Nothing will ever make this ok, but you guys make it a little easier. Jen and I can't begin to thank you enough for the support. I know eventually I'll be able to look back on my daughter with only fond memories of what she was rather than pain and heartbreak for losing her, but until I do, thank you all for helping to carry us through this. Every little bit helps, and the TPR crowd gave us way more than a little bit.

Wow, that was almost hard to read.....I'm very sorry for what happened. I just don't really know how else to put it you know? If you are planning on trying again, I wish the best of luck.

 

Mike "Sorry for your loss." J

I am so sorry for your loss...your baby is up in heaven looking down on us as I type.

It's difficult to know what to say to someone who has experienced such an unimaginable and painful loss.

 

Sadly, some of us (myself) have had to face the painful realities of life........The loss of a parent. (In my case my mother) But, to have your own child die is in many ways even more painful.

We all have to accept that eventually we will outlive our parents, but never our children. Our children always represent the future, so they should never be part of our past.......

 

There are no words available to ease the pain of the loss of your daughter Ceilidh Anna.

 

I hope that with the bonds of love and friendship you've developed with your family and friends, that they will be there to support you and your wife in your time of need.

Oh Pete, I am so, so sorry to hear about your loss

A couple at my church lost a baby about 8 or 9 years ago just after birth, and eventhough they have since had three more kids, the little one they lost will always be a part of the family. They have a beautiful memorial to her on their wall so their other kids know about their big sister.

Once agan, my deepest sympathies go out to your and your wife.

My sympathies for you and your wife. It's always sad to hear about a death, especially one of a child. I am so sorry for your loss.
