layla grace died this morning :(

i know that some of us have been following her family's blog the last few weeks. i just saw on facebook that she died this morning. 

it's amazing to me how much sadder these situations are to me now that i have a child and can better understand the extreme grief this family must be feeling. i cannot begin to imagine how painful this is for her mom and dad. blah. makes me want to go hold ruby for her nap so i can love on her and listen to her breathing.

Re: layla grace died this morning :(

  • My sister called while we were on a walk to tell me, and I immediately broke down. I just can't imagine. Makes me want to keep Camy squeezed tight all day. 

    But I have to admit, I am kind of relieved for them that they no longer have to see her in pain. There was nothing else they could do but sit and watch her suffer, so I hope they are able to find some peace in knowing she's no longer hurting. Bless her heart. I pray for them and their 2 young daughters who have to try and make sense of losing their baby sister. Absolutely heartbreaking.

  • I agree that since having kids it's even hard to read these stories. In fact I have purposefully not read Layla's story because I know I would break down. I can't handle these stories.
  • i have been following her too. my heart totally aches for them. can't imagine the pain they've been going through. :(
  • I know her parents. We went to high school together. I don't let a day go by without giving my little ones some extra love. This has hit me really hard today.
  • how sad. i know it is rough - i know what this family is going through - when my friend/boss' six year old son pablo passed last summer it was one of the hardest things - something no one should ever have to go through.

    this is why i am so proud to be working with the pablove foundation - to hopefully find a cure to this evil disease, and help kids remain to be kids while going through treatment with music, art, games and other programs at hospitals.

    i hope layla's family finds peace and continues to tell her story to people - to let layla's light continue to shine. 

  • I've been following her too.  She sounded like it was getting close.  So sad, but glad she's in heaven with the angels.  I keep feeling really sad for the older sister.  It must be so incredibly hard for her.  At least adults can try and understand a little better.

  • cried a little this morning with my toddler and just stroked his head. This has hit me extremely hard since my one year old niece is battling the same disease right now.  Bless that little girl and the strong faith that her family has upheld during all of it.  Little Layla Grace is looking down on them right now. She will feel no more pain.

  • I just got back into town and saw it.  :(  So heartbreaking, I can't imagine the loss her parents and sisters feel.  I hope they find peace.  Sweet Layla.
  • So, so sad.  Rest in peace sweet baby.  Prayers to her family.

  • That is so heartbreaking. I could never bring myself to read the whole story, but I've been thinking about their family and praying for Layla. I can't imagine what they're going through right now. My heart goes out to them.
