I have just come back from one of the hardest things I've ever done. I had to attend a funeral for a baby. It was my friend's grandbaby. The baby was due February 11 but quit moving last Friday and they found no heartbeat. She was absolutely precious and looked like a little doll. The mother is surviving but that's about it and the father is just grieving so hard for both. Please remember this family in your prayers, it was their first child.

Oh, Jesus, I've been there a few times (although the babies weren't full term). I will keep them in my prayers. It took me years just to be able to stay in church during a christening.

I'm so sorry to read this. I don't think there's anything more achingly sad than losing a child. My condolences and prayers to the family.

Give them a big hug for me. The parents will learn a great deal about themselves during this sad time of grieving.

So sorry BC. A friend of mine went through this as well with her first. She is now a happy mom of 2 healthy children. Hopefully your friend will be as fortunate.
