While I fully realize that this is just a message board and I've never met most of you, this is a time where we also recognize that support in any form is a real blessing. Early Thursday morning, our little daughter Claire (our firstborn) was stillborn. She was absolutely perfect and we will miss her very much - but we look forward to being with her again someday. I was wondering if any of you have been through something like this, and if so what words of advice or counsel you can extend. It's been a very difficult couple of days so far, but we've had a real outpouring of love from family and the community. If you are so inclined, we appreciate any prayers offered in behalf of our little family. Thank you!
I'm very sorry for your loss. I couldn't imagine what you are going through right now, but my prayers will be with you and your family.
Really sorry to hear this. Good luck to you and your wife getting through this difficult time. Hang in there man.
Very sorry to hear about your loss and my best wishes are with you and your family. I have never been personally in that situation but I have friends and family who have gone through it including one of my exes (not when I was with her though.) The most I can tell you is to have hope and try again. One couple that I know had three still births and on the fourth time had a baby girl.
That's devastating news. My condolences. Life is unfair. I guess God loved her too much to let her go. Best of wishes towards you and your family.
+ Que En Paz Descanse la pequeña Claire. Symbolically praying that your family restores its strength. Dude, I can't even begin to imagine what my world would be like without my girls... much less losing something that precious before their time. A couple of times, when our daughters were younger, we read obituaries and did that often, "just because", and we came across the story of a baby who died of a cause I can't remember. We called the funeral home and offered our condolences to the family and donated money to them. We knew it was a lot less than we could do. What do you need besides prayers? We're here for you, sir.
That has to be one of the worst feelings in the world. I hope you and your famly can pull thru this tough time. Thoughts and prayers go out to you and yours.
Oh wow, slcrocket. I am so sorry for your loss. I teared up just a little reading your OP because my wife and I went through the EXACT same thing in 01/09. 39 weeks along... I have a LOT I can share with you about how the last year and a half has been for us, but don't want to post it for everyone to see. I would be happy to email you through the board, but only if it's okay with you. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. Be there for your wife, but don't forget....YOU have to mourn too. Please don't forget that.
I kinda know what you're going through slcrocket having been down that path before. It was tough, but we came to understand that it was God's/natures/etc way handling things when something just isn't right, even if we can't see it with our eyes. Keep your heads up and just be there for one another. You are both in my prayers.
While I've never experienced a loss like this, I have experienced loss and will share with you what got me through it: my wife. There will be better days ahead. Just remember that you have a wife to share your feelings with and that will help hold you up... and you will do the same for her. Don't close up... you and your woman, help eachother through this, tell her what you're feeling and don't hold back, and be there to listen to her when she does the same. Love and support will get you through this. I am so sorry for your loss. It is something nobody should ever have to experience. I wish the best for your family and know you are in our thoughts.
