This is possibly my least favorite word there is. Some good friends of ours lost their baby recently.. it was “stillborn”. They got to hold their little baby boy just once. Our hearts are broken for them… there are no comforting words that will help them. There are no easy answers here.
I can’t even imagine what they are going through… they were so excited. Having three kids I can’t help but feel a bit guilty.. it doesn’t seem fair. Me and my three happy healthy kids.. they have none. Dear Lord, please never let me take my children for granted.

Geoff, I totally know what you mean. This just happened to my sister in law (Justin’s sister) a few weeks ago too and it is soo sad. Brianne’s friend also went through the same thing and Brianne even held the baby. How devastating. I will include your friends in my prayers. Unfortunately my list is getting longer. So much heartache. I pray your friends are experiencing the peace that passes all understanding right now and that someday soon their arms will not be empty any longer.
