My honorary daughter #1, who eventually became my daughter-in-love, had a normal pregnancy. When she went into labor, it was expected everything would proceed normally. My son, her mother and I were at the hospital expecting to greet a brand new baby, but that wasn't meant to be. I was given a picture of him and he looked like my son spit him out! It was hard enough trying to handle my own grief, but I didn't know how I could console my son and my HD#1 (DIL). 😥😥😥😥 At least now they are together.

Our hearts broke into a thousand pieces when we lost him and were shattered again when we lost his mother! 💜💔Rest in Paradise our little Prince and my beloved DIL. We miss you but you will always be in our hearts.

I can't even the pain and heartbreak of losing the little one you were all looking forward to growing your family. To be honest, I don't know if I could recover from that type of loss. I know you feel the loss of both of them every day. They both know how my much you love and miss them. The only way we can find comfort and solace is to realize that someday we will be with them and there we be no more pain of separation. To be together in God's holy home for eternity is better than just the short time we spend here on earth.

We were told we could not have children but after many treatments, many prayers, I did get pregnant. I lived in fear that whole time, worried I would lose the baby, worried if it would have any type of problem. There were problems during the birth, emergency section, but thank God above he was okay. I was truly blessed!!

Horrible disappointment. One of the worst things in the world. A shock & a heartbreak. I'm so sorry for this pain to your family. Your grandson is still your grandson. I know you Count All Your Blessings every day. When we reach this stage in life we look back, and ... there are things in our hearts. Part of this crazy quilt of Life.
 

I so feel your pain. 20 years ago,my daughter`s 5th child was stillborn,after a pregnancy as normal as her previous 4. Her 5th baby boy. I feel that she has never really recovered from the loss.

She did go on to have a healthy baby girl a year later but that didn`t 100% heal her heart. My son in law held the baby but daughter couldn`t bring herself to even see him,much less hold him. She regrets it terribly to this day,but I know that she was just in horrible shock at the time.

For me,although devastated at the loss,seeing my child go through this was the hardest thing I`ve ever experienced. I`m sure you felt that way as well.

I thank each of you for your condolences and comforting words.

Mrs. Robinson...you have my condolences as well. My heart goes out to you, your daughter and family. Having other children does not console the grief for the ones we lost, but the love they bring helps to heal and winds up filling our hearts with joy. My second grandson was born two years after the first. He and I have been very close since he was a toddler.

I just want to mention that the thank you butterflies are a tribute to my DIL. She loved butterflies and the color purple.
