Sad News tonight.

[Bigjohn]

I will be signing off tonight and may be gone a couple of days or so.

I have just been told that my brother and his wife have lost the child they were expecting in Jul/Aug.

Both appear to be handling it well tho Helen is a little sore still.

They were so looking forward to the arrival of their first and maybe last child but now.........

thats sad I have a friend that him and his wife just lost they're baby a couple months ago... she said something was wrong and went to the Dr. to found out she had lost the baby... they induced labor & going through all that already knowning the out come would have to be heartbreaking

[castalott]

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I'm very sorry.....

My prayers go with your family. Tell them to hang in, we went through that twice before having our daughter. It is tough but we have a great kid now. Just have to keep the faith that things happen for a reason and not give up.

My wife and I have been spared the agony of losing a child, and our hearts go out to anyone who has endured such an event--either personally or within their extended family. Every time I hear or read such news, I just grab the nearest daughter or grandchild and give them a hug.

John, our thoughts and prayers are with your brother and Helen for a good recovery and future bessings. Not now, but later maybe they can remember that those things can happen for a reason and they should keep trying. Been there, Bill

Real sorry to hear that, Bigjohn. I also have been there, and found that time heals and courage returns. And there can be more chances - I just made ours a smoothie for brunch. Please know that many of us are with all of you.

Wife and I lost our first pregnancy at the fourth month as well. Tore us up pretty good for awhile. Three years later, when we weren't expecting it came our first son. Four years later came the second son and 13 months after that popped out our last son.

Give our prayers to Helen and your brother. And remember the Lord does care for everyone in his own way.

This is never a good thing. This week, I was working a search and rescue for a three year old boy. He was found last night, dead. I grieve for the parents, and send my condolences to your family.

BigJohn,
I trust that Helen is strong and gets over what is a devastating event in any womans life. My wife lost our second set of twins at 5 months so we have been there, done that. Jen turned out to have cancer so the loss of the twins was probably a blessing in disguise. Needless to say we were unable to have any more but our first twins, a boy and girl, have given us the usual joy and heartbreak when bringing up kids. Our thoughts are with Helen and hubby.

My wife and I have also travelled that route. Time does heal, but the pain is real. Condolences to your family from mine.

G'day again,
Helen and Steve are managing it, Doctors reports are good and future attempts could be successful. Helen was more cocncerned with regards her chances of bearing a child in the future. My sister is a RN Registered Nurse who specialises in the field as well as having had simular experiences, spoke to her after the Doctors results came back.

I had a hard day of it the next day but improved; my brother, Steve is a quiet one and for his own reasons did not tell us all straight away. I found out from Mum; but thats family.

I thank each and every one of you for your kind thoughts.

Thank you,

John.
