A friend of mine's 10 wk old son passed today.

TiffanyTheMom · October 2011

We were pg for the first time in Japan together, pregnant the 2nd time together in Japan, and then we went our separate ways when we got stateside but she's still my friend. We double-dated everywhere, had many great times, our boys played together as babies...

Her 3rd baby, Jacob, was found not breathing in his crib Thurs. morning. He was rushed to the hospital and put on life support, but today he passed. His precious, fragile, too-short life couldn't handle it. I am so heartbroken for her, I hate to say I can't imagine because she's LIVING it, but I am just so devastated for her. She's not in the same state as me, and my H is gone right now so I can't even hug him. And my own precious LO is asleep in her crib, and I am just so... lost for her. She has 2 older boys, same ages as my older two- almost 4 and 3 1/2. She's not on TB, but if sh were I'd direct her to the loss board. I don't know what to do for her, what to say, or anything. Flowers are so cliche and useless.

Just.. hug your babies tonight, ladies. Hug them for a mother who will never get to hug her precious boy ever again.

I am so sorry for your friend Tiffany. I choked back tears reading this. Things like this just make me ask God "Why?" I will keep them in my thoughts.

Send some meals via Swansons or something if you can. Name a star after him. Send her a necklace with his initials engraved on it.

It's so rough dealing with loss.

Ditto. I am sorry for your friend too..

It's amazing how many stories like this I have come across. I find myself learning of more and more friends who's babies were born with heart defects, or chromosomal abnormalities. I know people who have suffered loss of babies only weeks old, and babies born sleeping. I almost can't read a new blog without discovering another story that just makes me feel blessed, grateful, lucky, and even more obsessed with how blessed we are with our precious, healthy daughter. I don't know how people go through things like this. I don't know that I ever could handle that mentally. I don't know why such things happen in this life....but I will add your friend to my prayers tonight.

All of this. You could also plant a tree for him or something. How heartbreaking.

Thank you. It's so hard to wonder why some babies are taken so early and others seem to bounce when dropped. My friend's name is Angela, her husband is Jon. She's started drinking.
