My closest friend from college, who actually introduced me to my wife, lost her first born, a 6 week old baby boy. I'll never forget that tiny casket. Terrible memory.

, man, that's awful. As for me, no kids, so it doesn't apply, but it's still something no one should have to go through Posted on 2/26/15 at 5:43 am to tigerpimpbot

Similar but with a HS friend, but I think her daughter was a few months old. I guess if there's one thing, those kids are in a happier/much better place, but I couldn't imagine getting through something like that.

I lost my son, Henry, on February 12, 2013. He was a full term baby with nothing wrong. Then all the sudden he was gone. Devastated us. We are blessed with Henry's older brother and now have his little brother and another on the way. I don't post on here much but always like talking about him. It makes me feel he is not forgotten. Now that we've had more kids, I think others kind of feel like they are a replacement , but nothing ever fills that void.
Man, I'm sorry to tell you this but the hurt gets worse at least it has with me. Milestones such as this my son would have become a teenager has hit me hard . If u ever need to talk to somebody that faces the same void as you, I'm always here

So sorry for your loss. I have had this happen to a couple of friends. One in particular is still distraught over it... Even after having 2 more healthy babies.
I just don't think we as humans are wired to deal with the loss of a child. It just isn't how it's supposed to go. I don't know how I could deal with that. I have dreams about something happening to one of my kids and it will wake me up for the rest of the night.
Thoughts and prayers to you and Brandon.

Proud of you for your courage. It's easy to forget how precious lives are, and I'm glad you shared this with us.
God bless. Seriously.

Prayers for you and your family. That is the toughest lost anyone can endure.

A dear friend of mine lost her son to suicide. I don't know how anyone can cope with that, but she is trying to make something good come of it by raising awareness about mental illness. She's incredibly courageous in sharing her tragedy so openly
Sadly, 3 of the last 4 funerals I have attended were suicides including 2 HS students. I have no idea what to do or say to my friends who buried children.

Lost our daughter recently. Brutal two weeks in NICU. Watching her fight so hard but still lose ground was terrible.
I'm grateful for the time we had with her but I know I'll always have an empty space in my life that can never be filled.
My heart goes out to all of you in this thread that have lost a child. It's a crappy club to be in.

Sorry to hear that bud.
My oldest turns 6 today.
I thank god every night for my kids and pray for him to keep them safe.
I don't know what id do if I lost one of them.

Gosh guys this thread is hard to read.
My wife is 17 weeks pregnant with our first child. I remember going into the doctors at 6 weeks and seeing the heartbeat. And even though he/she was less than an inch long it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life and at that moment I couldn't imagine ANYTHING happening to it. It would absolutely crush me. I can't imagine the hurt yall have faced. One of the scariest things I can imagine in life.

I struggle with the thought of losing a child. Sometimes I find myself looking at my little boy more with "Wow, I love him so much but what if something happens?" instead of just being grateful he's healthy and happy.
I'm expecting another boy in May and the same thing. I'm more worried about the pregnancy/him being healthy than being excited about having another one.
I don't think that's the way to live but I know I'm not strong enough to deal with something like that.

My parents had twins after me, born premature. they live a couple days but both passed away.
I was only 2 so i dont remember at all, my parents never told me until i was probably 13 or so. Can't imagine how that felt for them, we never really every talk about it.

Very sad you lost your son, but in 4 days he sure did fill you with a whole lot of love and pride that will last you a lifetime...
Lost my son's twin at birth, 11 weeks pre-mature. Doctor said his sister couldn't get as much nutrition in the womb as my son. I prefer to think she gave it to him so he could be here.
Ultimate Love.

I have been there with two of my closest friends
Two books they shared that helped them significantly
When Heaven is Silent
Grief Observed
My prayers and heart go out to you
They both went through grief counseling as well
